Shrewsbury Family of Schools Celebrates Opening of Phnom Penh School

Shrewsbury is celebrating an important milestone for its Family of Schools with the official opening of Shrewsbury International School Phnom Penh (SISPP) at its new purpose-built Sen Sok campus in Cambodia.

The school becomes the latest member of the Shrewsbury Family of Schools, joining four other international campuses in Hong Kong, India and two in Thailand, alongside four schools in the UK.

Following a Family Orientation Day, pupils from Early Years through Secondary arrived on the 3rd September to meet their teachers, settle into their classrooms and begin shaping a new school community.

The 7.2-hectare Sen Sok campus is the largest international school campus in Phnom Penh and brings academic learning, sport, the arts and co-curricular life together in one connected environment. Modern classrooms, science laboratories and design technology workshops, libraries, creative arts spaces and extensive sporting facilities give pupils the space, support and inspiration to think independently, discover their strengths and flourish.

Shrewsbury School’s Headmaster and CEO of the Shrewsbury Family of Schools Leo Winkley, said:

“This is a special moment for the Shrewsbury Family of Schools as pupils begin their first term at Shrewsbury International School Phnom Penh’s magnificent new Sen Sok campus.

“I am delighted to welcome the school’s pupils and families into the wider Shrewsbury Family, in our 475th year. My sincere thanks go to the dedicated team of staff who have worked so hard to bring this exciting new chapter to life.

“At the heart of the school is Shrewsbury’s distinctive whole person approach to education, all-round excellence and a supportive environment for every child to thrive."

Head of School, Barry Sutherland, Shrewsbury International School Phnom Penh, said:

"Today is the beginning of a community and the creation of traditions that will belong to generations of pupils to come. As a proud member of the Shrewsbury Family of Schools, this is an exciting time for the Shrewsbury community and for whole person education in Cambodia.

"Our families and their pupils have placed their trust in us, and we are determined to honour that trust through high expectations, exceptional care and a Shrewsbury education that helps every child to flourish."
