Excellence in education – schools
“The entry showcases each aspect of the ISL approach to relocation – the highly effective and authentic community connections, the impact on those receiving this support at all levels and from the beginning of the process. Most of all, ISL’s commitment to excellence with and for their students and families.” Category Judges
The judges were full of praise for the International School of London’s (ISL) winning entry.
Embracing creative connections
Arguably, this entry more than any other, took to heart this year’s theme of the value of creative connections. The International School of London (ISL) places considerable emphasis on collaboration and making creative connections for the benefit of students, parents, and all stakeholders involved in children’s education when families are on the move. There is clear effort made by the leadership team to link up both with staff and parents and for families to share experiences. It is good to see that the senior leadership team is so actively involved in building communities.
The school recognises the multi-faceted and complex nature of relocation, and key to that is the care to ensure that connections are created ahead of relocation, toward ensuring an effective and calm transition as well as at different stages of the education journey. From class buddy to first day teacher who speaks their home language to student ambassadors there is a warm welcome.
