Aims of the Programme
ICS aims to provide a personalised, high-quality education, drawing on the best of British and international practice. We will continue to nurture and invest in an inclusive and diverse learning community of happy, confident and creative global citizens. We will focus our efforts on achieving this by offering a vibrant and balanced programme of Co-Curricular activities. For the Autumn Term 2025-2026 programme, you will find the addition of several new CCAs, including Badminton, Public Speaking, Young Entrepreneurs, Advocacy & Action, World Religions & Values, and several more. We are also delighted to be expanding several popular CCAs, such as the ‘Learn to Cycle’ CCA, giving more young students the chance to learn this important life skill. Our Sixth Form students will play a more prominent role in supporting and leading some of the CCAs and we look forward to them inspiring our younger students and leading by example. Contact Details
