The school has a student services team that works with teachers, parents, students and external agencies to ensure the best possible learning opportunities and outcomes for each child. Learning programmes are differentiated for varying abilities and teachers adopt a range of strategies to cater for individual needs in the areas of EAL, Learning support, Gifted and Talented; and Special needs.

The style of support program is determined by the needs of individuals. This may require students to work individually or in small groups with support staff in or outside of the classroom. As an inclusive school, ISBe admits students with mild learning difficulties and English language acquisition challenges. Based on our available facilities and resources, we strive to deliver support services while maintaining the integrity of our learning programme. Where necessary, external agencies are accessed to facilitate in depth assessments, in order to identify underlying issues and recommend strategies for support.
