Our Curriculum
ISPH’s curriculum features rich first-hand experiences, is responsive to individual needs, and is underpinned by our Core Values and Learning Habits.
The curriculum that ISPH provides is developmentally appropriate to ensure progression from our youngest Nursery students to our oldest A-Level students. We recognise that all students are different, whether this is in their individual talents or their preferred learning styles and as such provide a curriculum framework that ensures every student achieves their full potential.
The Curriculum has been carefully designed for children of all abilities and learning styles, and encourages individual and group work competencies. Our students experience success; acquiring and developing Skills, Knowledge and Understanding as part of a ‘Spiral Curriculum’. This means that each ‘Key Stage’ ensures that curriculum content and learning goals build on each prior Key Stage and prepare students for transition into the next.
