Parent as
Partners
To better support our children and their families, we are committed to maintaining an ongoing dialogue with parents and carers and improving our knowledge of the needs of their children.
At IIS, parents have the opportunity to be involved in the wider school community through the IIS Parent Group. The aim of the IIS Parent Group is to foster positive relationships between families and the school, whilst supporting and enriching the learning experiences of our students, for example with Coffee Mornings, workshops, theme days such as World Book Day, National Day, Culture Day, Pink Day etc.
