ISL Surrey A School for Your Child’s Future

Today, education needs to go beyond getting good

grades in exams. It should connect students to

an ever-evolving world, where technology and

globalisation are pushing the boundaries of the

possible. Today, education must prepare students

to be the critical thinkers and the problem solvers

of tomorrow.

Building on over 40 years of ISL experience,

ISL Surrey provides an education that is widely

recognised to be amongst the best globally,

integrating technology across all levels, and

providing a highly acclaimed, embedded modern

language programme.

More importantly, ISL Surrey is an inclusive learning

community where:

Every new child is welcomed into the community

and classroom.

Every teacher uses a philosophy of fostering reflection

and self-direction.

Everybody respects and celebrates cultural differences.

Every child is treated as an individual through a low

student-teacher ratio that develops talent and provides

needed support.

Every family becomes a part of a vibrant

cultural and social environment.

ISL Group History

The International School of London is a pioneering

international school that has paved the way for

integrating mother tongue languages into a standard

international curriculum, starting in the Early

Childhood years. Founded in 1972, it was one of the

first International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Schools.

ISL London now offers the IB Diploma as well as the

Primary and Middle Years Programmes.

Today, the majority of students (over twice the

international average) qualify for the prestigious IB

Bilingual Diploma.

In 2008, ISL was selected by the Supreme

Education Council of Qatar as one of the first schools

for its Outstanding Schools Initiative. ISL Qatar is now

authorised to offer the IB Primary Years, Middle Years

and Diploma Programmes.

Continuing with this expansion, Shell UK selected

ISL to transform its Prins Willem Alexander School,

Page 9: Prospectus ISL Surrey

the highest performing Dutch school in the world, to

an international school in August 2009. ISL Surrey

became the first accredited International Primary

Curriculum (IPC) school in the UK in May 2010 and

in June 2012, achieved Mastering, the highest level

of accreditation. ISL Surrey is currently the only UK

school and one of a select few worldwide to achieve

the Mastering level.

These high standards were commended in the UK

Office of Standards in Education (OFSTED) inspection

reports where the school achieved Outstanding

in every category related to quality of education,

curriculum, teaching and overall student development.

ISL Surrey is also a member of the Council of

International Schools.

The ISL Group comprises three schools, enrolling

approximately 1600 students from 90 countries,

teaching 25 languages.

‘ISL Surrey has been awarded IPC accreditation at

‘Mastering’ level. In itself this would be a wonderful

tribute to the hard work, dedication and focus of any

school community and something worth significant

celebration. What is especially good about this

award is that it follows on from your 2010 award at

‘Developing’ level and demonstrates how a school

community can, with focus and the willingness to

model learning, develop considerably in a relatively

short space of time. You and your colleagues have set

a fantastic example to other schools.’

The ISL Curriculum brings together the best teaching

practices from many countries and sources, based

on research about how children learn. The aim is to

develop the skills and knowledge our students need for

success in the 21st Century. Our curriculum is inquiry-

based and child-centred, built on a child’s natural

curiosity, yet individualised to help each child progress

to the next stage of learning. Utilising an integrated

approach, topics expand and reinforce learning across

all curricular areas. This creates a healthy attitude

towards learning and allows each student to achieve

his/her potential. Our goal is to form a firm foundation

for subsequent learning in each child, whilst creating

happy and lifelong learners.

The Curriculum and our Teaching Strategies

Page 17: Prospectus ISL Surrey

‘Throughout the school the outstanding curriculum

enables pupils to acquire a very wide base of

knowledge and skills which prepares them

extremely well for the future….the curriculum

skilfully merges the themes and skills…resulting in

extremely rich learning experiences with a strong

international flavour.’

OFSTED Report, May 2012

‘Parents are more than satisfied with the IPC/MYP

methods describing them as ‘a different approach

to learning, but the children seem to remember

a lot of what they learn because they do it on a

project basis, learn things from lots of angles, it

embeds the learning across the subjects.’

Good Schools Guide

Page 18: Prospectus ISL Surrey

Students begin learning a new language at age 3, with

French or Spanish offered as a second language for

primary students. Middle Years students have the

opportunity to study mother tongue and another

foreign language, either French, Spanish or Mandarin.

Mother Tongue Support

Mother tongue support has been shown to help

personal and educational development, empowering

students for future transition to home, another

country, or university. It also forms the foundation

for all subsequent language learning, as a proven

effective tool in learning a second language.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

Because English is the language of instruction,

additional support is provided for children who need

English support. Initially, EAL is taught intensively as

a pull-out programme, individually or in small groups.

With time, it evolves into in-class support for as long

as necessary.

Multilingual Learning

Page 19: Prospectus ISL Surrey

‘The mother tongue programme provides

language education that is as close as can be

to the national programme back in our home

countries… We have consciously decided to

educate our children at ISL, as it has a dedicated

mother tongue programme and gives us peace

of mind that our children can keep up with

their three languages and communicate with

their families back on the continent… We were

recently in Paris visiting family. The feedback

of our peers and family was one of positive

surprise: “How come your children speak and

come across like French children?’

Aurora, a French mother

‘ISL Surrey’s home languages programme

was one of the main factors in my decision to

choose the school for my child. As my daughter

is growing up in a multi-lingual, non-English

family, it is crucial for us to be in a school with

strong language learning, good choice of native

and foreign languages, and support for families’

efforts at home. The sessions on bilingualism

were very helpful.’

Lyudmila, a Kazakh mother

Page 20: Prospectus ISL Surrey

Because of low student-teacher ratios, teachers can spend

more one-to-one and small group time with students.

Low student-teacher ratios mean that:

Each student receives more individual attention.

Teachers have a greater understanding of each child’s

learning style and talents.

Classes can adapt to the needs and interests of students,

allowing greater depth of study.

Smaller groups encourage active participation in learning.

Teaching methods emphasise hands-on, concept-based

and individualised learning, rather than rote learning.

Mentor Teachers

Page 21: Prospectus ISL Surrey

‘Classes are small and staff know their pupils

very well. The staff match the varying needs

of pupils closely through targeted support,

differentiated tasks and very effective

grouping and use of resources.’

OFSTED Inspection Report, May 2012

Page 22: Prospectus ISL Surrey

Integrated Technology

Technology is integrated throughout the school to

enhance learning and collaboration, with iPads,

interactive white boards, LCD touch screens, computers

and laptops incorporated across all age levels.

Early Childhood students use LCD touch screens to

explore the world and to practise letter formation on

screen. Primary pupils research, publish and present

their work using technology. Most of the Middle School

humanities and science curriculum is delivered via iPads.

Teachers regularly Skype their colleagues in London or

Qatar for curriculum collaboration.

Page 23: Prospectus ISL Surrey

‘Middle school kids say the best thing about ISL

Surrey is the iPads… The Head of School was

keen to introduce this as part of the new school’s

move to digital learning…. ‘Students need to

understand how to use this technology because

that’s how they will interface with their world

when they leave us.’

Good Schools Guide

Page 24: Prospectus ISL Surrey

Our primary curriculum is drawn from a

variety of international sources and adapted

to the needs of our multicultural population,

resulting in a curriculum that is a beacon for

best practice, providing every student with

on-going cognitive, physical, emotional and

social support and opportunities.

Children learn through play. Whether it is about

planting daffodils or writing letters in sand, a wide

range of activities help children discover their

world. Through the early childhood multi-sensory

programme, children build on their natural curiosity

and delight in experimenting with the environment

around them. A typical class day varies to include

individual, small, or large group settings and a

variety of activities that touch on every aspect of the

curriculum. The programme is age appropriate and

adaptable to the many different paces of development

for an early childhood learner.

‘ISL Surrey has been and continues to be

a wonderful experience for our family.

The warmth and compassion, passion,

flexibility, and diversity of the entire

school’s staff have opened our child’s mind

to the possibilities of the world. We are

very thrilled to have found this school.’

Building on the same child-centred and

developmental approach used in Early Childhood,

Primary students remain with their main classroom

teacher for the core subjects: language arts,

numeracy, humanities, and science. Mother

tongue, music and physical education (including

swimming for 6 and 7 year olds) are taught by

specialist teachers. Students follow the International

Primary Curriculum (IPC), a globally-recognised

curriculum which helps students understand

the interconnectedness of subjects. ISL Surrey

is accredited at the Mastering Level, the highest

accreditation possible, which places it amongst a

few elite schools worldwide.

‘The overall quality of the provision is

outstanding. The exceptionally positive

and motivated approach of staff, and

their commitment to promoting children’s

learning and meeting their individual

needs is a key strength of the provision.

Partnership with parents is exemplary.’

OFSTED Nursery Inspection Report

December 2010 in which the programme

was rated Outstanding in every category

‘I can see my child is happy going to

Nursery, and always has a very good

time… At this age it is very important

to receive a lot of love and trust. We

reassurance… The professionalism

of the staff and teachers has

A Middle School Parent

The Middle Years Programme (MYP) provides

students with learning attitudes appropriate to

adolescents in a global society. It is a framework

for an academically rigorous curriculum, which

encourages international-mindedness, nurtures

lifelong learning skills, and equips students to adapt

to the challenges of an ever-shrinking world.

Attributes of the programme include:

iPad Technology Programme. Each student receives

an iPad to help them become familiar and confident

with technology.

The Mentor Teacher. Small tutorial groups work

collaboratively. One-to-one time with specialist teachers

provides academic support, challenges curious minds,

and differentiates learning for students.

The Open World Experience. Once a week, students

participate in a regular cycle of planning, experiencing

and reflecting on student-directed activities that expand

on passions, interests and issues raised in the classroom.

This is designed to involve students in their academic

growth, all the while getting them to think about future

career paths.

ISL Surrey is a candidate school for the International

Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme and is pursuing

authorisation as an IB World School. Candidate status

gives no guarantee that authorisation will be granted.

‘In fact very many admissions tutors

would argue that the International

Baccalaureate is superior to A-Level

in that it offers both breadth as well as

depth of study.’ Dr J Foreman, Senior Tutor, University

College, London

‘Because the IB differentiates better

than A-level; if we are hesitating about

making an offer at all, we would be

more likely to make an offer to an IB

student than an A-level student.’

Faculty

ISL Surrey teachers have the time, commitment

and strong desire to work with every child, at his

or her developmental level. This helps students

achieve their goals.

All teachers are qualified, many with advanced

degrees, with previous experience in national and/

or international schools. Additionally, there is great

support for continuous professional development

with regular in-house workshops conducted by

curriculum consultants and trainers. Teaching at

the school was especially commended in

recent inspections.

Page 31: Prospectus ISL Surrey

‘Teachers communicate exceptionally well

with parents about the learning intentions

through detailed IPC newsletters, planned and

informal discussions about children’s learning

and through the learning conferences. All

teachers help parents become engaged in their

children’s learning…’

IPC Accreditation Report, May 2012

‘The staff are well qualified and their passion

motivates pupils to achieve their full

potential. They establish very positive working

relationships in their classes based on mutual

respect, enabling pupils to learn in a calm and

purposeful atmosphere.’

Page 42: Prospectus ISL Surrey

Relocating across the country or around the world

can be an exciting time for any family, but the on-

going success of that transition frequently depends on

the support and welcome from the new community.

To assist in the successful relocation, students in

grades 3 and above participate in a residential trip

which builds teamwork and helps forge friendships

amongst the participants.

Through a variety of initiatives, including summer

picnics, welcome teas, parenting workshops, the

parent choir and numerous social events, parents

may participate in:

The Crossroads Transition Team which helps

children, families and staff adapt quickly to the school

community, through many initiatives including Parent

Buddies and Language Representatives.

English as an Additional Language Classes which

provide new language learning for many of the

parents as well as a new social venue.

Very quickly families begin participating in the vibrant

life of the school community, making new friends and

sharing new experiences, and joining the many sports,

arts and recreational activities.

Surrey Lifestyle

ISL Surrey is located in the beautiful heart of Surrey

with extensive woodlands, the Surrey Hills and

the South Downs nearby, providing an excellent

environment for a relaxing and active family life. The

historic Surrey town of Woking traces its origins to
