NBIS provides a Boarding Service for students in Year 7 to Year 13. The service was introduced in September 2021 to support families living in outlying districts and to assist older students with examination preparation. Boarding details such as full, weekly or flexi options are not published on NBIS pages.
NBIS requires all students to wear a uniform. The uniform items are published to parents and ordered via the uniform company through Tao Bao. There is some flexibility (for example, on the first day a shirt may be worn instead of a polo) as long as NBIS logoed tops are used and items come from the same supplier; additional items include hats and spare clothing, with formal attire requested for certain occasions.
Lunch is provided in a spacious dining room near the classrooms. The menu offers Western and Asian dishes with a wide selection of vegetables, meat and fruit, and the school caters for dietary restrictions and food allergies.
NBIS is part of the Zhejiang Wanli Education Group, a multi-institution education group that includes the University of Nottingham Ningbo China and NBIS itself. The Wanli Education Group governs NBIS as a member school and provides education from kindergarten to university level.
