During our PSHE lessons this week, we have been looking at how we learn. Do you know how we learn? We were talking about NEURONS in the brain and making connections with DENDRITES. We also had a go at making our own brains!
A note from the Principal
What a marvellous few weeks it has been, with the last of our Y4 - Y6 students returning safely—and very happily—from their Residentials! We were fortunate to enjoy fantastic weather, confirming that the decision to move the dates from February to November was indeed a wise one.
On Saturday, I had the pleasure of attending the Ploenchit
Fair—a fantastic community event! Another highlight was welcoming guest speaker
Mark Grist to our KS2 assembly. Mark, a former English teacher turned poet,
rapper, and author, captivated the students with some incredible performances.
We are hoping he will inspire some great writing in the Primary school!

Wellbeing
Gift Giving
Giving gifts to friends and family is a lovely thing.
However, we do not expect or encourage gifts from a family to the whole class.
Please do not bring in gifts, sweets, candy canes or toys for the class.
Edible gifts can cause problems for some families, and we do not allow sweets/candy in school.
Many of our students give gifts to families and children in need through our year group charities, and this we completely support. Please see below.
Christmas Donations
Please watch the video below to find out about this years Christmas Charity competition.
Next week, we will be selling bespoke Christmas cards (50ThB) and bracelets (50ThB) made by the students at Thomas House. All proceeds go to Thomas House.
Taking photos and videos of students on Campus
At Bangkok Patana School we welcome parents on to our campus.
As part of this agreement, all parents must agree to our Parents’ Safeguarding Code of Conduct.
This includes:
- Never taking images in toilets, changing rooms or areas where privacy is expected.
- Using judgement before taking and before sharing images of students.
During a regular school day, parents may only take images of their own child – unless they have sought and received permission from another family to include their child in a group photo.
Family employees with access to the campus must also abide by this rule.
Where and when can parents take photos and videos when on campus?
