Important: ISL Strategic Planning Alumni Survey

Dear ISL Alumni, 

Following on from my email about the strategic planning “Parent Survey,” some of you who are parents may also be alumni of ISL. An “Alumni Survey” has been created and now shared, here. This survey ensures that all alumni have the opportunity to voice their opinion about where the school was in the past and its direction into the future. Being an alumnus/alumna of our school means that you have a unique connection to and perspective of the school, from a historical point of view. 

Please take a few minutes and complete the survey. I really appreciate you taking the time.

Important: ISL Strategic Planning Parent Survey

Dear ISL parents, 

As you may know, ISL has engaged the 5Rs Partnership (www.5rspartnership.com), a specialist independent education research and strategy company based in Singapore, to support our school in its future strategic development. 

Last month the founder and principal of the group, Dr Stephen Holmes, visited our campus for over a week, holding meetings with various stakeholders in order to get a better sense of the school's ethos.

Building on these focus-group conversations, a “Parent Survey” has been created and now shared, here, with all ISL parents.  This survey ensures that all parents have the opportunity to voice their opinion about where the school is currently situated and its direction into the future.
