We are part of the International Schools Partnership (ISP),a focused, growing and financially secure group of 56 schools, which ensures outstanding international learning connections, quality assurance and excellent governance.
At ISP, learning is at the heart of everything we do, and we want to continually provide the best learning opportunities possible for our pupils and their families. We believe that as part of our pupils’ learning journey it is important that they have the chance to experience learning outside of the classroom and connect with other ISP pupils. As a global group of schools, our students benefit from being part of a wider international community, which provides many additional learning and cultural opportunities.
