ISB is an educating and caring community that involves children, their families and their caregivers in a warm and supportive environment. We aim to build a partnership with you and give a commitment to providing the best education for your children possible.

Through the support and commitment of my staff At ISB we aim to be:

A school that makes a difference as soon as you step inside; a place with a warm, happy and calm atmosphere where everyone enjoys learning and working together; where staff take student’s views into account, are open, honest and supportive of each other, and set positive examples to the students.

A school where students have a can do attitude and learning is fun; where students think positively, who say, “I can…” and where self-reliance, co-operation, enthusiasm & initiative are encouraged; where all students are nurtured, their self esteem raised and everyone feels valued and respected.

A school where the environment promotes quality learning opportunities; where the environment reflects the achievements of the students and stimulates and supports their learning; where displays in classrooms and corridors reflect a broad and balanced curriculum.

A school where teaching and learning is outstanding; where staff understand and use the most effective teaching methods to engage the students and encourage them to work well independently; where students are highly motivated, enthusiastic and respond positively to challenge and high expectations and exhibit consistently high standards of discipline and behaviour.

A school that is close to its community, where agreed values are shared and upheld; where students respect and understand the diversity of the wider world and their place as citizens of it and acquire attitudes of care and concern for the environment; where staff develop positive relationships with parents and the wider community.

A school that rigorously and effectively maximises success for every learner; where staff have consistently high expectations and plan teaching that enables students to reach their potential; where staff understand the connections and progression in all subjects and use them to ensure students make good progress.

A school that celebrates personalised learning and students achieve their potential; where the level of challenge stretches without inhibiting and work is closely tailored to the full range of students’ needs, so that all can succeed; where students are guided to assess their work themselves and good relationships support parents/carers in helping students to succeed.

With best wishes,
