Pastoral Approach to Academic Pursuits

By focusing on understanding the individual needs of each of our students, we aim to encourage the very best levels of performance from each child. Unlocking the full potential of each student is the key and we follow a structured approach to achieve this.

We place a high premium on pastoral care in the classroom, around the School and in the boarding houses. Students in the Senior School are grouped into pastoral groups, called ‘Tutor groups’, the tutor being responsible for overseeing their tutees’ academic progress and pastoral welfare. Tutor groups are based around the 4 school Boarding Houses with two tutor groups of about 8 students in each Year group in each Boarding House. Tutors work closely with a highly experienced team of Boarding Houseparents and Assistant Houseparents who are also in regular contact with student’s academic teachers. In the Senior School class sizes are limited to 20 students, except for the top sets in English, Maths and Science which may be slightly largely to allow for slightly smaller lower sets.

The College this year sees a move to a maximum class size of 15 at AS level which will apply to A2 in future years. In reality, many classes are considerable smaller than this. St Andrew’s remains committed to offering a wide choice of subjects at A level.

Education Beyond the Classroom

Special events take place each year, which add to the breadth of academic and cultural life at St Andrew’s School. Events this academic year have included:

Choral and orchestral tour to Japan
Universities “Town and Gown” trip to Cambridge, Nottingham, Manchester and London Universities, England
World Scholar’s Cup Regional Finals in Nairobi
World Scholar’s Cup International Final in Bangkok, Thailand
Regional Model United Nations Conference in Nairobi
Senior Round Square Student Conference, Marrakesh, Morocco,
Junior Round Square Student Conference to Johannesburg, South Africa
Hosting a Spanish cultural day at St Andrew’s
Visits to art galleries, museums and theatres
Business Studies and Geography field trips to local and national sites of interest
Weekly sports tours to play other international school in Kenya and Trip to Youth Football World Cup, Sweden where the St Andrew’s team won the award for “most sporting team” as well as reaching the semi-finals.

St Andrew’s is very proud of it status as a Round Square School (www.roundsquare.org) , an elite organisation of about 150 similarly minded schools from across all continents of the world who place the Round Square IDEALS of internationalism, democracy, environment, adventure, leadership and service at the heart of their school curriculum. The school is very pleased to have hosted the Round Square Conference in February 2017.

St Andrew’s has a rich tradition of music and drama, with students having the opportunity to study for ABRSM exams in a wider range of instrumental as well as theory exams, as well as the LAMDA individual dram exams.
