Special Educational Needs (SEN)

At Samakee, we place great importance on identifying special educational needs (SEN) early so that we can help children as quickly as possible. Once it has been decided that your child has SEN, staff working with your child take into account the Samakee SEN Policy. The policy describes how we help children with special educational needs at Samakee through a step-by-step or graduated approach.

Our graduated approach recognises that children and young people learn in different ways and can have different kinds or levels of SEN. So increasingly, step-by-step, specialist expertise is brought in to help our school with the difficulties that a child may have.

If your child does not seem to be making enough progress or needs a lot more extra help, the school may contact parents so that an assessment can be carried out for your child by a Developmental Paediatrician at Merak Clinic. This is only required for a very small number of children and is only necessary if the school cannot provide all the help that your child needs. It is usually only required for children who have the most significant and long-term special educational needs which need a very detailed assessment.

The approach may include:
an individually-designed learning programme
extra help from a learning support assistant who may be assigned to your child. This occurs if it is decided by the multidisciplinary team that your child is unable to access the curriculum independently. The decision is reached and agreed on by all people working with the child.
being taught individually or in a small group for regular short periods
drawing up a personal plan in liaison with Merak and or our Inclusion Leader, including setting targets for improvement, regular review of progress before setting new targets.
Merak HomeSchool meetings with parents, carers, Merak therapists and teachers who work with your child.

Continuously Recognised for Excellence

The Highest International School Quality Mark.

Four times. One small school. The first in the world.

The first school in the world to receive ISQM Gold four times.

Awarded by the Education Development Trust — the same organisation that quality-assures British international schools across the globe. Not once. Not twice. Four consecutive inspections. Four Gold Awards.


Standing Alongside the World's Best British Schools.

Among the most recognised British international schools — huge, world-famous campuses with thousands of students and enormous resources behind them — there is also us.

A small, independently-owned school in Nonthaburi. Around 150 students. An on-site farm. A forest school. Teachers who know every child — and every family — by name.

Recognised by the same international standards. Inspected by the same UK government-approved inspectors.

This is not just a trophy on a shelf. The ISQM Gold is a rigorous, independent assessment of every aspect of school life — teaching quality, leadership, student wellbeing, community, and outcomes.

Exceptional education is not about being the biggest school. It is about delivering excellence, every single day.
