All students receive a free school lunch. Grades K–3 are served in the main building or the Early Years Centre; Grades 4–5 eat in the Bamba (canteen) on the far side of the playground, shared with Guldhedsskolan. Every day there is a hot meal, a salad bar, and a choice of water or milk to drink. The school accommodates dietary requirements, and the environment is nut-free and sesame-seed-free.
ISGR is owned by the Gothenburg Region Association of Local Authorities (GR). The school is governed by a board that provides strategic direction, ensures educational quality, and supports long-term development.
