Description We provide an enriching education of the highest standard which allows our pupils to achieve both success and experience failure in a safe and supportive environment. Staff, pupils, and parents share the fundamental expectation of a positive attitude to learning. We nurture our pupils, encouraging them to develop a Growth Mindset to ensure they become resilient and persevere in the face of challenges. Happy, respectful, internationally minded pupils, staff, and parents are the core of our community. We support our pupils and staff to constantly develop and improve themselves. We do this as a team, without exception.
We put learners and learning first. Learning is affected by both internal factors (such as emotions, motivation, and general health and wellbeing) and external factors (such as environment, curriculum, and relationships). The external factor that has the most significant impact on our students' learning is the teacher.
At ISP, everyone is a learner. So as one of our teachers, you are also a learner. Together, we will embark on an ongoing process of exploring, expanding, and evolving your practice in ways that directly impact and improve student learning.
Learner (ISP definition)Everyone at ISP is a learner. The ISP learner recognises that their mindset, experiences, and actions drive their learning outcomes. With this awareness, they exercise voice, choice, and ownership over their process of learning - leading their learning and the learning of others.
ISP PrinciplesBegin with our children and students. Our children and students are at the heart of what we do. Simply, their success is our success.
