Principal's Welcome

Picture
Hello and welcome to the ISK website for the 2018/2019 academic year. In my second year here at ISK I am very pleased to highlight some fantastic new developments. When I joined ISK this time last year the school was starting to adjust to a new and lower school roll as a result of changes in the local shipbuilding and oil industry.

Our  Latest Mission and Vision

This year we have conducted a major overhaul of our sissiona and vision. Students throughout the school, teachers, office staff and parents all took part to create something that captures the essence and effervescence of our school. This will be sisplayed around the school in 3 separate age appropriate posters: one each for the Early Years, Primary Years and a shared secondary one for the Middle, Higher and Diploma Years.
Below are the Early Years and Primary Years designs. The Secondary one is currently using a concept placeholder while the Year 10 artists create the real deal.

Learning at ISK

ISK is a learning focused school. This means that we continually reflect on how we can improve learning in the school and all school developments are considered with regard to the way in which they will support continual improvements in learning. More >>

Latest News

Our first IGCSE exams are  well underway. Good luck to Years 10 and 11 in this milestone.

ISK is now accredited for Early Years to Year 11 with WASC (the Western Association of Schools and Colleges). Next year, we will invite a team back to see our Year 12 and accredit up!  That is of course on top of next year seeing us be the first school in the world to attempt a triple IEYC-IPC-IMYC accreditation.

ISK is now an Independent Award Centre for the Duke of Edinburgh International Award . Next year, the Higher Years students will take this award while the Middle Years will continue to take the William Pike Challenge Award. Come and find out more at the information evening on Tuesday 28th May.
​Our Early Years will move into a transformed centre next to the small playground next year. We have all been creating designs where the children will learn through play, exploration and adventure! Building will take place over the summer.

We received great feedback from our partners from the Fieldwork Education for the IEYC, IPC and IMYC and are implementing actions to improve learning. 

The Western Association of Schools and Colleges also gave us very good feedback, particularly for our Child Protection and the organisation of the school and resources. We will be implementing this feedback in to the School Improvement Plan.

ISK is an inspiring and spacious environment with a capacity for 540 students. Every classroom has an interactive white board and we also have a gymnasium, cafeteria, science lab, computer lab, music rooms, art rooms, basketball, volleyball, soccer facilities, a general makerspace and a textiles makerspace as well as a woodland outdoor classroom for early learners.
