Gunnersbury Park

 

Our school is situated on the corner of one of the finest public parks in London, where Forest School meets weekly to explore and learn in 200 acres of nature. Older students can use the outdoor space recreationally during the day.

Our fantastic Sports Hub, built in partnership with Ealing Council and Brentford FC Community Sports Trust, is located in the park as well, and is used by students for PE lessons, to train for competitive sporting events and play their favourite sports.

At ISL, every student’s identity is celebrated, diversity is cherished. In this welcoming environment, children thrive, their potential flourishes. Here, every individual is seen, heard and valued. At the heart of our philosophy lies a commitment to wellbeing. We know that a student’s mental, emotional and physical health are key to their success and that is nurtured by a strong community and an award-winning positive transitions care programme. We teach 23 languages in our Home Language programme, bridging cultures and fostering understanding. This preserves linguistic heritage and empowers students to connect with their roots. We believe education is about shaping compassionate, globally-minded citizens, providing a sanctuary where students grow intellectually and emotionally. 

Sitting on the edge of Gunnersbury Park, our school enjoys the endless learning opportunities offered by the city of London. With easy access to Central London, we extend education beyond our classroom walls. Students embark on enlightening journeys through our local communities, immersing themselves in the rich culture, art and history on offer. Museums, galleries and world-renowned attractions become their interactive ‘LONDON LAB’, where learning comes to life in vivid, real-world context. This hands-on approach fosters a deeper understanding and appreciation for their studies, empowering students to connect theory to the pulse of everyday life. Here, education thrives in the heart of a dynamic city and within the welcoming embrace of our local communities.

At our vibrant school, we teach a curriculum that embraces both HEAD & HANDS, encouraging students to make connections between subjects and tackle real-world challenges. This innovative approach sparks their imagination, honing problem-solving abilities as they craft tangible demonstrations of their learning and creativity. Our focus extends beyond traditional knowledge; we instil practical, 21st-century life skills crucial for their future success. The ISL curriculum is a dynamic fusion of intellect and action, equipping students to navigate an ever-changing world with confidence and flair. Here, education is a stimulating adventure, preparing our students to lead, innovate and thrive.
