We are pleased to announce the results of the new Northbridge International School Cambodia Parent Satisfaction Survey, and would like to thank all of the parents who took the time to complete this important annual review.

This year's results, along with the continuous guidance and review with the Nord Anglia Education leadership, enable us to create a thorough improvement and development plan for Northbridge. We will keep you updated on our progress in each of these areas throughout the next academic year.

In last year's 2018-2019 Parent Satisfaction Survey, the Top Areas for Improvement were given as:

• Performing arts facilities (29% wanted improvement)

In the last year we have launched our drama programme in partnership with The Juilliard School, and held a variety of exciting theatrical shows, including a spectacular performance of CATS, and the first ever co-school production with iCAN, 'The Seussification of Romeo and Juilet'. Improvements have been made to the Primary Hall, with a new sound and lighting system installed, and custom sound muffling curtains added.

• Can participate in a wide range of trips and visits (22% wanted improvement)

More than 100 parents agreed with this statement this year, reflective of our improved MIA trip offerings, and the very successful expeditions to Tanzania and Switzerland. More are planned for the coming school year, details coming soon!

• Developing global awareness at school (20% wanted improvement)

The school has worked to promote the Nord Anglia Global Campus programme at Northbridge, achieving higher levels of student participation, and more knowledge among the parent community. We look forward to promoting this further.
