Welcome from our Head of School

Mr. Tom Vignoles

It is my great honour to welcome you to The British School of Lomé. BSL has a highly distinguished history, serving Togo and the wider region for more than 40 years. Our school is quite unique in West Africa, offering the UK Cambridge Curriculum to IGCSE and culminating with the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), which is highly respected as a gateway to universities across the world. Our alumni live and work in many different countries, and are highly successful in their chosen fields.

With students aged from 18 months to 18 years, we have more than 40 different nationalities in our community. We are an inclusive school and whilst some of our students arrive with existing proficiency in the English language, many do not. For our younger students, English is naturally picked up within the classroom. Older students who need support with their English also have the opportunity to join our intensive Bridging Programme, fast-tracking their English skills so that they quickly become sufficiently bilingual to access our international courses. We also offer students the opportunity to become boarders, so there is truly something for students of all profiles at BSL.

Testimonials

JOELLE TETTEY, Alumna

“Being able to attend The British School of Lomé through years 8 to 11, has benefited me greatly as the quality of the teaching and the support of the teachers have allowed my academic skills to flourish, subsequently allowing me to uncover an interest in finance during my years in the International Baccalaureate course in Years 12 and 13 in the United Kingdom. The knowledge I gained in BSL has propelled and allowed me to gain amazing opportunities with my work experience in the banking industry and allowed me to gain high scores in economics and mathematics during my International Baccalaureate course. I am planning to study International Management at the University of Warwick in the hope that I will be able to work in Investment Banking in the future. My experience at BSL has been unforgettable and I will always be grateful to my teachers for their support in my time there. “

SAFFRON HOLLAND, Alumna

"Hello my name is Saffron Holland and I was a previous student in BSL;I was there for a total of 7 years from 2009 onwards. During my time at BSL I really enjoyed the creative subjects as well as being in a close community of friends, teachers and staff. Since being at BSL I have taken all that I have learned and applied that to the rest of my education and now have a diploma in health and social care. Recently I have been pursuing my creative interests that were nurtured in BSL; I now have my very own art studio within my local community in the north of the UK, where I create and sell my own art and creative services.
