Teaching & academics

The ISI's top 'excellent' grade signals consistently high standards across teaching and learning. The school follows the International Baccalaureate framework, an academically broad approach that suits inquisitive pupils preparing for the next stage of their education. With a small roll and only a modest proportion of pupils on SEN support (under two per cent), classes are well placed to give close individual attention.
