Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
BCVN provides pastoral care through a dedicated team that oversees student welfare across school life. Their “Pastoral Care” programme emphasises respect, mutual support, and recognition of each child, aiming to help pupils feel safe and valued. The school also organises parent-workshops on topics such as social media and revision, fostering a shared understanding between home and school of students’ emotional needs.
Although BCVN’s policies list “education and welfare provision for pupils with EHC plans and pupils for whom English is an additional language” among possible policy documents available on request, the publicly accessible “Admissions Regulations” note that the school is currently unable to accommodate pupils with special educational needs. Thus, while there is a framework for SEN policy, the school does not present itself as a specialist-SEN institution, and there is no publicly detailed provision for individual learning support.
On its policy page, BCVN indicates that “policy and welfare provision for pupils for whom English is an additional language” exists and is available on request. However — the school does not publicly describe any specific EAL programme, support classes, or language-support staff. Therefore, it is not possible to confirm formal EAL support in practice.
BCVN’s safeguarding and pastoral-care framework includes measures to ensure pupil welfare throughout school life, which implicitly supports mental well-being by promoting respect, inclusivity, and student-care. Beyond this, there is no publicly available information detailing dedicated counselling services, mental-health programmes, or structured mental-wellbeing initiatives for students.
Brighton College Vietnam has a publicly available Safeguarding and Child Protection Policy (updated August 2025), which applies to both Preparatory and Senior School. It identifies a Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) and a team of Deputy DSLs covering all school levels, under whose oversight safeguarding issues — including bullying, online safety, child-on-child abuse, complaints, and secure premises — are managed. The policy applies to all staff, volunteers, contractors and visitors, and is reviewed annually. It establishes procedures for reporting concerns, handling allegations, and ensuring pupil welfare at all times.
Brighton College Vietnam is an all-through international school in Hanoi, opened in August 2023 and located within the lakeside Vinhomes Ocean Park residential-urban complex in Gia Lam. It offers education for children from age 3 up to age 18, structured across Early Years/Prep, Primary, Secondary, and Sixth Form levels. Instruction is primarily in English, with Vietnamese language and culture embedded, and students may also study Mandarin or French. The curriculum follows the English National Curriculum, leads to IGCSE at Key Stage 4, and from 2025 onwards offers the IB Diploma at Sixth Form. Class sizes are capped at 24, and the student body is around 550–600. The campus spans 3.4 ha with green space, outdoor fields, indoor sports halls, a four-season pool, 18 science labs, a 500-seat theatre and professional music/drama studios — supporting strong STEM, arts, and sports programmes. A school bus service is available for commuting.
