Welcome to our ISF family,

On behalf of the entire ISF community, I want to extend a warm welcome to our school! We are thrilled to have you as a part of our close-knit community and we look forward to getting to know you and your children.

At ISF, we strive to provide an enriching and supportive learning environment for all of our students. We believe that every child has unique talents and abilities, and we work hard to create opportunities for them to excel both academically and personally.

We understand that transitioning to a new school can be daunting, but we want you to know that we are here to support you every step of the way. Our faculty and staff are dedicated to providing a safe and inclusive environment where every student can thrive. We encourage you to get involved in our school community and to take advantage of the many resources and opportunities we offer.

Once again, welcome to ISF! We are excited to have you join us and we look forward to a successful and fulfilling school year.

Sincerely,

Sharyn Baddeley Head of School

Isf Buddies Upper School Students

All new Upper School students will be assigned a buddy.

• A buddy will be selected from your child’s Form Tutor class, with whom they will share the first 15 minutes of each day.

• Our students always look forward to welcoming new children, introducing them to ISF, showing them around, providing information about what it’s like to be a student here and helping them during their first few weeks of school. More information about your child’s buddy will be sent throughout the summer.
