General Information

Before joining the school.

Starting a new school can be challenging whatever the age of the child for the whole family. There are new timetables, new boundaries and new teachers and students to get to know. It can also be a very exciting time for you and your child. When a child joins a school it is not only them that become involved but the whole family. Education is a partnership between school and home and here are some ways that you can help your child when starting at The BECCl;

• Read any stories that you have and share your own stories with your child about when you started school. Talk about the people they will meet and people they may already know.
• Make sure they know how to use basic English confidently. Phrases such as; good morning, please, thank you, can I go to the toilet please?, can I have a drink of water please?
• Show your child the school website and Facebook page and see if they can remember anyone from the photos. Ask them what they like about the photos and who looks like they will make a good friend.
• On the first few days, make your drop off quick!!! Finding a secure routine of a hug a high five can make the goodbye transition a little easier for you and you can rest assured we will contact you if we need to at all times. 

Uniforms

There are currently two school uniforms. They are a polo shirt with dark blue shorts which can be worn any day. The second uniform available is the sports uniform. This consists of a blue t-shirt and dark blue shorts and again can be worn on any day of the week but must be worn on sports days.. There are also limited school hats and bags available.

Lunch

The BECC provides a freshly prepared, delicious home cooked healthy meals for our students prepared by our onsite kitchen team. Each day, we offer omnivore and vegetarian options that include freshly prepared salads, sandwiches, soups and pastas. The menu features a variety of international and Thai dishes that The BECC students have designed themselves ensuring they are nutritious yet enjoyable for all. If your child has any allergies or dietary requirements, please inform The BECC office and we will prepare appropriate meals for your child.  

Illness

To reduce the risk of cross infection we request that children are not brought to The BECC if they are showing any signs of infection. This may include diarrhoea and vomiting, high fever or any infectious diseases that may be suspected. We provide information for parents of infection incubation periods and exclusion times for common illnesses such as vomiting and diarrhoea or chickenpox. By working closely with parents when a child is sick not only prevents the spread of diseases to all the children within the centre but ensures the quick recovery of the child. The staff at The BECC can give medication to children if it has been authorised by a doctor and agreed by the Manager that it can be administered on the premises.

Security and Safeguarding

You will have complete peace of mind knowing that The BECC adheres to all UK standards and that we take security very seriously ensuring your child is completely safe in our care. Each child must be signed in and out of the school each day by a parent or guardian or authorised person. If a different person is to collect a child the office must be informed. There is always a member of staff on the front gate ensuring that children only leave when signed out and if they are unsure of a persons identity they will check which may include a phone call to the parent from the school office. There is CCTV covering both the high school and our grounds as well as at the main front security gate.

Any Safeguarding issues can be reported to our Safeguarding Officers (Principal, School Manager and Lead Teachers) anytime via email safeguarding@pshh.ac.th.
