LCIS is an inclusive school and welcomes children with identified learning difficulties and offers a limited amount of support for children requiring extra attention.
Children sometimes require specific tailored education plans to allow them to function to the best of their ability in the school. Where appropriate, teachers, with the assistance of our Special
Education Needs Co-ordinator, will develop an Individual Education Plan for targeted children. This plan details clearly to all staff and parents any special arrangements that have been put in place to provide a child with the support they require. Parents are involved at all stages of this process and its planning monitoring and review.

We are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of education. Our High Quality Learning approach ensures that we help every child achieve excellence, and to emerge with a healthy understanding of the world that comes from an international school education.

Thanks to the hard work of our students and teachers, Nord Anglia Education schools continue their remarkable academic track record with results that significantly outperform schools around the world.
Through our Global Campus initiative, your child will meet fellow students from 44 Nord Anglia Education schools across the globe, participate in exchanges and take part in challenges.

They will learn and grow in a truly international environment, learning to embrace different cultures, adapt to new challenges and apply confidence, character and enthusiasm to any problem. We believe a child should emerge from school with strong self-esteem as well as excellent grades. They will know how to collaborate, to lead, and to recognise the value of creativity, empathy, risk-taking and perseverance.

We strive to encourage and educate confident all-rounders, and out students' emotional well-being is as vital to us as is their academic performance.

Our curriculum is driven by our unique High Quality Learning approach, which ensures that every student becomes a high achiever. As an international school, we also strive to nurture students who understand and respect different cultures.
