ISU is an inclusive school. We believe that all children and young people are entitled to an education that enables them to make progress so that they can achieve their best, become confident individuals making a successful transition into adulthood. In our diverse and dynamic school community we welcome differences between students, and we make sure to meet their individual educational needs. Please find out more about our inclusion team on the school website.
No, but we do have a food counter, where students can purchase sandwiches and snacks. In primary students can order a Tommy Tomato lunch twice per week.
We did use virtual classroom technologies during Covid-19. We currently don't use them.
Additional educational needs refer to various groups of students who for a variety of reasons may face additional barriers to education and learning. This includes students with a diagnosed learning disability or learning difficulty. Additional educational needs can be categorised under the four broad areas of development:
Communication & interaction
Cognition & learning
Social, emotional and mental health difficulties
Sensory and/or physical needs
Additional needs are best considered in terms of a continuum from milder needs to more complex needs. Our inclusion framework is organised through three tiers. These tiers form a continuum to provide students with instruction and interventions at increasing levels of intensity.
