As the new academic year begins, students and staff across the British International School, Phuket are already benefiting from a number of exciting campus upgrades designed to enhance learning, wellbeing and community life.

A Fresh Start for Our Youngest Learners

The newly built Year 1 playground has quickly become a favourite among our youngest students. With its bright, inviting design and carefully chosen equipment, it offers a fun and stimulating space that encourages active play. Parents have also noticed how the playground has made morning drop-offs smoother, with children eager to start their day outdoors.

A New Hub for Upper Primary

In Upper Primary, students have embraced the opening of a brand-new learning hub. Inspired by Scandinavian design, the space features a variety of seating options and flexible working areas that support both independent and group learning. Combined with thoughtful lighting and warm, natural tones, the hub creates an environment that fosters creativity, calm and collaboration. The addition of a spacious new locker room has also been welcomed by students and teachers alike, further improving the day-to-day school experience.

Renovated Learning Spaces in Secondary

Students in Secondary have returned to find newly renovated classrooms on the third floor of the main building. With light, modern furnishings and the latest Promethean interactive screens, these upgraded learning spaces are already helping to set a positive and forward-looking tone for the year ahead. Teachers have praised the improvements for enabling more dynamic and engaging teaching, while students are enjoying the refreshed atmosphere for focused learning.

What’s Coming Next

Looking ahead, more exciting updates are on the way. The retiled 50m pool is set to reopen soon, and will no doubt be welcomed by students, teachers and families across the school community. Further enhancements are also underway in the Senior School Study Centre and the Drama Hub, both of which are designed to enrich the learning experience and provide even more opportunities for students to thrive.

These upgrades reflect BISP’s ongoing commitment to providing a learning environment that is not only world-class, but also inspiring, inclusive and student-focused. We look forward to sharing more as these developments continue to take shape.
