"Dare to Do"​

​

Week 13 (WEEK A) 

​CIS – confirmation of the excellent education ISB provides 

​

We’re delighted to share that our recent CIS preparatory evaluation was a great success! The visiting team was highly impressed with our staff’s commitment, professionalism, and care-all of which reflect the strong community spirit at our school. 

​

Highlights from the evaluation: 

• A clear and shared school vision 

• A strong culture of care and inclusion 

• A student-centred and united staff team 

• A focus on the whole child-academics, activities, and wellbeing 

• Supportive relationships across our community 

• Excellent feedback from parents and students 

 

Moving forward, we’ll continue building on these strengths while focusing on a few key areas, including campus development, health and safety, curriculum enhancement, and continued learning excellence. 

Over the next 18 months, we’ll also be implementing three exciting school-wide initiatives: 

• Digital Learning: Strengthening students’ computing and digital skills to support their learning and future pathways. 

• Assessment and Feedback: Using feedback effectively to build student confidence and progress. 

• Personal Growth: Helping students become more confident as individuals through classroom learning, pastoral care, and enrichment 

 

Thank you for your ongoing support. Together, we continue to help every child thrive and excel!
