Felsted School has been reaccredited with the British Council International School Award in recognition of its outstanding work in international education, including links with partner schools overseas.
Felsted welcomes students of all nationalities and routinely celebrates cultural diversity. Integrating international and UK students is an extremely important component of the School’s ethos and Felsted is one of only 12 schools to be a member of the Round Square organisation, offering exchanges to and from such places as Australia, South America, South Africa and Europe.
Felsted International Summer School has also gone from strength to strength, giving students from 23 nationalities the opportunity to learn, keep busy and make new friends during an intensive yet rewarding four-week programme.

It was also another fantastic year for Felsted’s International Baccalaureate Diploma results with 100% pass rate and an average score of 34 points (equivalent to AAB at A Level).
The International School Award encourages and supports schools to develop an international ethos embedded throughout the school, with the majority of pupils within the school impacted by and involved in international work.
John Rolfe, from the British Council, said: “Felsted’s fantastic international work has rightfully earned this prestigious award. Adding an international dimension to children’s education ensures that they are truly global citizens, helping to prepare them for successful future careers in an increasingly global economy.”
Felsted is proud to celebrate the international dimension of its education. We feel that the pupils are given a really good opportunity to learn about their place in the world, and prepare themselves for future careers which may well involve working in different countries, and with people from across the globe.
