Our Values

What we stand for

We aim to ensure that every child is excited about learning. We are a Great, Thinking School, which provides pastoral care to all our children and young people. Alongside our dedicated and inspirational teachers, we pave the way to success.

We want children to grow in confidence, enthusiasm and independence during their time with us, in preparation for life in the Secondary School and beyond.

Our teaching methods reflect our forward thinking; offer a creative, stimulating environment within which children can develop a lifelong love of learning.

ISN provides a rich curricular including after school activities. Whether a pupil is interested in playing an instrument or singing in a choir, performing in a drama production, playing a sport or joining a society or club, there is something for everyone.

Our philosophy

As an International school, our community reflects the diversity of many cultural backgrounds. The primary department has very close links with the Secondary department as do both with the nursery dept so that children and young people have access to each other during community service or school events.

Our Ethos and Philosophy capture of the spirit of happy, aspiring, respectful young people.

These actions define and determine our character:

  • Advancing the education and intellectual and moral development of our pupils, whatever their capabilities, attributes and interests
  • Securing the welfare and safety of our pupils as individuals and as members of a community
  • Celebrating diversity and Global citizenship
  • Fostering open-mindedness and thoughtfulness in our pupils and our School

Pupil care

Our young people are encouraged and guided to learn the instincts of courtesy and good manners while they develop a moral code and practise living it out in readiness for their adult lives.

We support them to discover and build self-confidence so that they are ready to develop strength and resourcefulness to meet the challenges of day-to-day life.

Their healthy mind set, enables them to have transferable interests and pursuits in an International, co-educational setting where they learn and practise the skills of friendship through participation in a wide range of activities and European projects.
