Leadership in the Secondary School
We know the importance of giving students the opportunity to develop their leadership skills, and we have a range of different ways to do this.
Each form group has a Form Representative who is elected by their peers. These Reps come together to form the Student Guild. The Guild is ‘the voice’ of the student body. They meet regularly with the senior staff to discuss issues relevant to student life. They also contribute to the formulation and review of policies that are relevant to the student body.

In addition we have Senior and Junior House captains for sports and other House competitions. Again these leaders are elected by the students themselves, and become responsible for organising the students of their Houses in competitions.
In Years 7, 8 and 9 leadership is taught as part of the curriculum. Every week students spend an hour with their Head of Year, working on communication skills, debating, self-presentation and other aspects of good leadership. This is one of the key ways that we develop the leaders of tomorrow.
In upper school we strongly encourage all students to participate in the Duke of Edinburgh’s International Award programme. This helps them to develop confidence, learn new skills and to develop as a team player, as well as becoming a better leader.
We believe that with the right opportunities and the right environment, we are truly creating “Great learning for the leaders of tomorrow”.

Assistant Head of Secondary
The British School of Beijing, Shunyi Campus offers the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), which is renowned for its active learning approach. This method is integral to early childhood education, providing young learners with a solid foundation for their future academic and personal development. At BSB Shunyi, active learning means children learn by doing — through a thoughtful blend of teacher-guided activities and independent exploration that develops both their academic skills and their love of learning.
The British School of Beijing recently hosted BritMUN 2025, a Model United Nations (MUN) event that highlights the exceptional organisational and leadership skills of our students. This year's conference was a remarkable success, attracting student delegates from many different schools across Beijing, including the British School of Beijing, the International School of Beijing, Dulwich College Beijing, and Beijing World Youth Academy.
