It is important that all students know that they are valued as individuals and that their academic success goes hand in hand with their emotional and physical wellbeing. From Early Years through to Secondary School, our students have an integrated PSHE Personal, Social and Health Education curriculum in which they address topics such as peer pressure, mental health, bullying, relationship education, and internet safety and awareness.
Pastoral care within ISM places students at the heart of the school, with an emphasis on values, character, and a range of experiences to provide a well-balanced education.
Our goal is to nurture happy, confident students. ISM has an ethos of care, compassion, respect and courtesy. We strive to create a happy and positive atmosphere in which your children will learn. Each student has a Classroom or Homeroom teacher as their first point of contact each day; this allows strong connections to grow and enables the Classroom or Homeroom teacher to support and guide each individual student within their care.
Class sizes are small, which in turn allows students to flourish. Beyond that support, each class is overseen by a Head of Year, with the Assistant Heads of each school also playing a strong role in the pastoral care of their respective students.
ISM has a School Counsellor who supports the work of the teachers, and students are able to make individual appointments to see the Counsellor during the school day.
