Welcome from the Head of School

We are an international school where teaching and learning is driven by best practice utilising the International Baccalaureate Programmes for students aged 3-18 years old.

Located in the heart of London we have been working with international students and their families since 1979. We are extremely fortunate to have two superbly situated campuses, with our Primary school (3-11yr olds) located on the edge of Regent’s Park and our Secondary campus (11-18 yrs old) a short walk from Hyde Park.

The School is accredited by the International Baccalaureate Organisation, the British Council, English UK and is regularly inspected by the UK government through OFSTED. ICS is a member of the European Council of International Schools (ECIS) and the London International Schools Association (LISA).

At the International Community School, we strive to ensure that each of our students has a fully integrated and supported, dynamic personalised learning programme that meets their specific educational requirements.

Our curriculum is divided into three highly regarded and internationally recognised programmes - Primary Years, Middle Years and the pre-University, Diploma Programme. We have also developed our own specialised programmes for those seeking English language development and support with Special Educational Needs

We use Information Communication Technology in a variety of innovative ways to engage and encourage our students to become lifelong learners. In addition we ensure curriculum enrichment through the ‘outdoor classroom’. This entails frequent educational visits within London, spending time at our Outdoor Education Centre at Bawdsey Manor and our unique ‘Travel and Learn’ opportunities.

We celebrate and thrive upon the diversity of our school community, in which over 45 nationalities are represented, including the UK. ICS has a passion for inclusion and for challenging students. As a school, we understand the importance of students, teachers and parents working collaboratively.

Our staff are enthusiastic and dedicated.  Our pupils are motivated to achieve their very best in all aspects of school life. I hope that you will find the information on our website useful and please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. There are so many opportunities available to the ICS  pupil, do come and see for yourself. I would be delighted to meet you and I can assure you of a warm welcome.
