At IPS, we aim to provide a welcoming, caring and supportive environment where all individuals are valued equally and where true respect for each other and ourselves is nurtured. The overall strategy and ethos of the school is derived from our aims.
The school aims:
- To encourage and develop lively and enquiring young minds. With the ability to question and argue rationally and coherently in way appropriate to their age, level and ability
- To provide the appropriate environment for the students to apply themselves academically, physically and socially.
- To provide a balanced curriculum where academic, spiritual and social skills are enhanced and so contribute to the development of a well rounded personality.
- To help students acquire knowledge and skills relevant to life in a fast changing world.
- To develop an awareness in each child of their own sense of unique worth as well as to appreciate the value of that same worth in others.
- To develop and implement an equal opportunities policy.
- To encourage co-operation, sensitivity, and an appreciation for the diversity of races, religions and ways of life that exist, engendering in every child a tolerance, understanding and deep respect for all.
In effect, IPS aims to pioneer an education for our students which promotes and delivers both innovation as well as quality. We seek with our students to explore the skills, attitudes and moral issues that make up every day life. These are developed in such a way as to encourage our students to become fully responsible, mature and active members of society, capable of achieving as much independence as possible, with an ability to take decisions for themselves.
