International Sharing School

At International Sharing School, we believe in Learning Through Sharing to build a better future. We provide the best educational experience for our students, acknowledging that every child is different and unique.

We have blended an innovative learning space with the highest quality of teaching to provide our students the opportunities to explore and have fun with their learning. They develop the confidence in themselves and are given a wide range of opportunities to develop and enhance their skills and understanding of themselves as learners in a modern world. We are deeply committed to building a community in which our students develop an understanding of their place within an internationally connected world. With over 60 nationalities represented at ISS, our students take part in a truly diverse educational environment which allows them to take their place confidently as active participators in a multiculturally diverse world beyond school.
ISS is an IB continuum school in which we embrace our diversity and celebrate our internationalism at every opportunity. Our teachers are internationally diverse in their experience which provides our students with a broad perspective of real-life connections within the IB curriculum. Learning through sharing is our vision and we embed this into our daily learning across all phases of the school. This guarantees our children experience a connected transition from the time they are welcomed into the ISS community through to the time they graduate.

About
International Sharing School

International Sharing School aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and open-minded lifelong learners who aspire to build a better tomorrow, through a supportive, respectful, and caring environment promoting learning through sharing.

We use the IB Curriculum Framework as we believe the curriculum is more in line with our core values and vision on education. Using a project based approach, we want to create students who understand we are all the same and want to help build a better, more peaceful world.

We work in the dynamic development of a multilingual and multicultural holistic approach, creating an environment which is relaxed but challenging, familiar but disciplined and most of all, we have created a school for the citizens of the future where fun and curiosity may lead to Learning Through Sharing and creativity in problem solving.

We promote a caring, multicultural and hospitable environment for all the community

Our school values are simple; Excellence, Respect, Independence, and Ambition.  These values underpin every aspect of our school.  As principal of The Institute of Education, my focus is on the students and their journey. The students are at the heart of every decision and my door is always open to the students, our teachers, and the school community. I am immensely proud of our students, the teaching team, and our support staff who working together make our school exceptional.

Kneller Hall School

Welcome to Kneller Hall School and thank you for taking the time to find out more about us.

I am in my third year as Head of Kneller Hall School and I have found it to be a friendly and effective school that provides an exceptional educational experience.  With around 420 pupils, we are small enough that every child is well known and we are able to fulfil our aim of celebrating every individual, but we are also big enough to be able to create an active learning environment for limitless minds.  We believe every child should fulfil their potential and be offered every opportunity to make the most of their talents…

Our school was founded in 2011 on the belief that education must nurture, encourage and celebrate children.  At Kneller Hall School today, you will find a dynamic mix of high academic standards, exceptional pastoral care and expansive opportunities for pupils, all housed within an innovative and hugely successful environment in a beautiful setting on the bank of the River Thames.  Our boys and girls are happy, accomplished and driven, and Kneller Hall is fast becoming one of the most dynamic and exciting schools in the area.

My favourite description of Kneller Hall so far is that we provide a refreshingly enlightened alternative option to other schools in the area, with our focus on encouragement rather than pressure – a concept that I hope you will appreciate when you come to visit us.  I look forward to meeting you and to the chance to tell you more about what we can do to help your child thrive and be successful.

About
Kneller Hall School

Kneller Hall School, formerly Radnor House Twickenham, is an independent selective co-educational day school enjoying a stunning location on the banks of the River Thames in Twickenham, where pupils thrive in small classes with a strong focus on individual attention.  The school educates and inspires girls and boys from ages 9 to 18, with three main entry points in Year 5, Year 7 and Year 12.

 

Life at Kneller Hall School is shaped by the school’s commitment to providing an active learning environment for limitless minds. Everyone firmly believes that all pupils are capable of great things if effectively taught, motivated and inspired by their school environment. This vision is underpinned by four key values which are central to school life:

 

Courage – we expect everyone to try their best, to have a go and to be brave in their approach to all the challenges of school and the wider world.

 

Excellence – we ask everyone to be the most excellent version of themselves, able to look themselves in the eye in the mirror every day and to know they could not have done any more.

 

Perseverance – we need to be able to persevere in order to achieve things, to maintain a growth mindset and not give up when the going gets tough.

 

Respect – we must treat each other with respect and kindness at all times, regardless of who we are or wherever our talents or weakness lie.

Kneller Hall will be a new, purpose-built school in the UK and the largest campus of any senior school in South West London opening in Sept 2027. The scale of the site will provide a unique educational experience.

Devonshire House Preparatory School

Devonshire House offers an intellectual, creative learning environment in which girls and boys of all character and learning profiles can thrive and maximise their potential.

We believe that parents shouldn’t have to choose between academically rigorous and pastorally nurturing schools: their children can have both at Devonshire House.

Strong core subject teaching is combined with a great breadth of study in specialist rooms and taught by expert teachers in their respective fields. A wide range of sports is on offer at our state-of-the-art facility and there is a keen focus on S.T.E.M, the creative arts, languages and the Humanities.

We encourage children to think critically by assimilating different perspectives with an open mindset, able to find nuanced positions as they wrestle with problems. We believe that learning and play represent a symbiotic relationship, one feeding the other.

Children learn as much from studying bugs in our wild area as they do in the classroom. The great outdoors are critical to a child’s development and at Devonshire House, we ensure that the children spend as much time outdoors as possible.

Devonshire House Preparatory School

2 Arkwright Rd, London NW3 6AE

“A solid, stretching, well-connected prep school of the highest standard, offering something for everybody aged 2 to 13.

Located in four large Hampstead villas, each with its own large garden, the school has a uniform feel with fresh paint and bright carpets throughout […] Each building has a generous supply of outdoor space, constantly in use.

Senior school advice comes in for praise: ‘Nothing comes as a shock, we’ve been involved all the way along,’ said one mother, while a girl told us that she ‘had not felt too nervous about the exams’. Maintains that London edge, however, and although not heavily called upon, the school benefits from the priority entry scheme to Dukes senior schools.”

Broomwood Prep – Girls

We provide a forward-thinking holistic education in beautiful grounds between Clapham and Wandsworth Common. Our programmes are tailored to the needs of the modern world. We are big enough to stretch and stimulate, yet small enough to know each girl as an individual.

We embrace latest advances in educational thinking and technology. Broomwood Girls benefit from progressing at their own pace in the classroom, but join with Broomwood Boys for academic extension activities, including joint House competitions, as well as sports, creative workshops and residential trips.

We care about instilling good values, promoting resilience and giving each girl a fully rounded education.  We take pride in the breadth of our successes from our outstanding academic results to achievements in sport, drama, art and music. Our pupils go on to top day or boarding schools at 11 or 13+. We enjoy some of the best prep school results in London, with children winning competitive scholarships for academic studies, music, sport, drama and art.

However, we are not a hot-house.  We do not want girls to feel the pressures faced by too many this age.  We’re immensely proud of our fantastic pastoral care which is key to the academic and personal success of our girls. The journey our pupils are on, allows them to thrive and be successful because they are so well supported. Our tutor system means there is always an adult at school, who takes an interest – a real interest – in every child’s triumphs, disasters and achievements. This, I believe, is what truly sets us apart.

We have wonderful buildings and surroundings with some of the best prep facilities in London, including a fully-fledged DT Suite, specialist science labs and cookery school. We have superb and dedicated staff, supportive parents who believe in what we are trying to do, girls who are rewarding and a joy to teach. I personally couldn’t want for anything more. We believe our approach and ethos is the best way to help your daughter realise her potential.  But don’t take my word for it – please come and see us for yourselves and discover the Broomwood difference.

I look forward to welcoming you.
