Welcome to The British Section, SHAPE International School:

Incredible, International, Inspiring

On behalf of the children, staff and School Governance Committee, it is my absolute pleasure to welcome you to the British Section, SHAPE International School.

The British Section is based at the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) in Belgium and is set within a community of twenty-nine different nationalities, forming part of an international school campus serving families from the British military community, as well as some affiliated civilians, NATO personnel and international military.

At the British Section, every decision within the school is made by firstly considering what is in the best interest of our children. We care passionately about nurturing our pupils as people with international tolerance and respect and, within our curriculum we provide real-life opportunities for our children to learn with, about and from other nationalities. I am extremely proud to lead a fantastic staff team, fully committed to children's well-being, achieving high standards and providing the very best opportunities for teaching and learning within a unique and fascinating context.  

The British Section school vision is underpinned by a values-based approach centred on character virtues and learning powers with the school mission statement, ‘Incredible, International, Inspiring.’  Our goal is to inspire; providing teaching and learning opportunities that fire our pupils' imagination, motivate and challenge, instilling a will to apply knowledge and skills and develop a life-long love of learning.  

We are incredibly proud to share our school building with the Canadian Section of SHAPE International School and we continually seek to develop our international partnerships with other nations to enable an enrichment of the learning experiences of all children.  

We look forward to working with you and your child and welcoming you to our school.
