IPS integrates social and emotional development from early years onward, following the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework. This includes promoting self-regulation, self-management, confidence, and relationship-building through structured activities and a supportive environment. These foundations are reinforced in assemblies, performances, camps, and field trips that encourage collaboration and interpersonal growth.
IPS has a designated Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) who provides ongoing support to students with identified learning needs throughout their schooling. The approach focuses on inclusive education, with most students’ needs being addressed directly within the classroom environment.
The school offers an English Support Program.
IPS promotes mental wellbeing through a structured counselling programme based on the International Model for School Counselling Programs (Fezler & Brown, 2011). This framework supports students’ academic, personal, social, and career development and is adapted to suit the diverse context of international schooling. The school integrates Personal, Social, Health, and Economic (PSHE) education throughout its curriculum, using it to encourage student self-awareness, resilience, and confidence. A dedicated counsellor leads the programme and works closely with students, teachers, parents, and the wider community to ensure that all learners feel safe, supported, and accepted. The counselling programme is continually reviewed to remain relevant to student needs and school priorities. It also contributes to a broader effort to build an inclusive and respectful school culture.
