Intent
ISL’s curriculum is rich and well balanced in order to enable our pupils become enthusiastic, curious learners, creative and responsible citizens. Our aim is to raise aspirations in our students, so they are spurred to believe and attain any height in life.
For all curriculum subjects, teachers plan and assess against carefully organised learning objectives to continually build upon and extend knowledge and skills. Our carefully planned ‘Curriculum Enrichment’ enhances this further, ensuring that by the time they leave us, Students have had a wide variety of opportunities and experiences.
Teachers encourage children to ask questions and articulate their thinking, gaining an increasing vocabulary while making links across their learning.

“I love my job and am very thankful for the opportunity that I have to seek purpose and help others find theirs in a global company. None of this would have been possible without the foundation of leadership I was given as a class prefect over multiple years in my JSS/SS sojourns, and as the Headboy of the class of 99 graduating set. The educational rigor prepared me for my undergraduate & postgraduate degrees in Engineering, Business and Education, and the exposure to inter school academic/sport competitions/social clubs prepared me for handling increasing levels of leadership responsibility” I’m a proud alumnus of ISL.
