Will my child stay with their current
friends when they graduate from City Campus to
Riverside?
Students can nominate current friends from City Campus to stay
with at Riverside. However, staff at both City Campus and
Riverside provide many opportunities for students to grow and
thrive in a new environment and encourage all students to widen
their network as they progress through years 7 and 8.
If my eldest child graduates from City
Campus, can my other children also move with them to
Riverside?
Yes. Siblings in lower years at City Campus are able to transfer
to the Junior School at Riverside to continue their primary
education, once a child from the same family takes up their
guaranteed place in the Senior School.
What modern languages feature will my
child learn in the Senior School?
At Riverside, students can learn Mandarin, Japanese, French and
Spanish.
Will my child have the opportunity to
continue their musical or sporting passion when they
graduate to Riverside?
Absolutely! Staff at Riverside focus on every child in order to
understand how best to help them access their desired sporting
and/or musical activities in the Senior School.
What is the difference between GCSE and
iGCSE qualifications?
The main difference between a GCSE (General Certificate of
Secondary Education) and an iGCSE (International General
Certificate of Secondary Education) is with regard to how they
are regulated. GCSE’s are directly regulated by a
department of the British Government called Ofqual (Office of
Qualifications and Examinations Regulation). This means that the
UK government has a direct say on matters related to curriculum
design and testing. iGCSEs do not come under the same regulatory
restraints and are more suited to the international
community.
How will be child be supported on their
journey to university?
Shrewsbury holds an impressive track record for exam results
in Thailand. Nearly all Shrewsbury students choose to continue
into Higher Education at prestigious universities and colleges
around the world.
Riverside's team of Higher Education advisors, including
specialists in UK US and Thai universities, is committed to
ensuring that Shrewsbury students are supported throughout their
