Student Support provision includes:
• Learning Support (LS)
• English as Additional Language (EAL)

Learning Support is for students who have specific learning differences. A person with a learning difference may be described as having specific challenges processing certain forms of information or undertaking certain tasks which impacts their ability to fully access the curriculum. Support for English as Additional Language learners includes those students for whom the fact English is not their first language represents a barrier to their learning and their integration in the community.
Support provision is provided for students under the direction of the Student Support Coordinators in Primary and Secondary. They manage and run their Student Support teams to best meet the needs of the school through the best allocation of the resources available. Student Support works collaboratively with Homeroom Teachers, Subject Teachers, Tutors and Grade Coordinators to provide as inclusive an experience as possible for all students.

All teaching aims to provide a challenging learning environment and together with enrichment or extension work will enable gifted or talented children to reach their full potential.

There is a Well-being Counsellor at IST.
Well-being at IST acknowledges that life offers diverse experiences that can influence our responses and reactions to daily life, and whilst many of these experiences are very positive for us, some are more difficult and can sometimes have a negative effect on us and how we perceive ourselves or others. Our aims are to ensure students have a positive mindset to help them as they grow up and are well supported when faced with difficulty. To this end we also aim to provide them with a range of personal ‘tools’ they can use to help them help both themselves and each other. Well-being is also concerned with the well-being of staff at IST.
Well-being services come under the remit of the Well-being Counsellor who reports to the appropriate member of SLG, depending on the age of the student or whether it concerns a member of staff. The Well-being Counsellor works collaboratively with all colleagues, in particular with the Grade Coordinators and the Primary and Secondary Student Support Coordinators.
Well-being services at IST aim to be nimble, responsive and co-creative. The Well-being Counsellor monitors mental health trends at the school by gathering data and then implementing evidence-based strategies to address the greatest risk factors and enhance protective factors within the community. This is done by initiating dialogue, sharing information, offering forums to discuss and address well-being and mental health trends, and interventions with classes or whole Grades.

The school asks for previous school reports and a school recommendation form but there are no entry exams or similar.
