Brian Nolan, Deputy Head of Primary Years – ‘SISD uses the IB Learner Profile to structure and guide our development of caring, adaptive, and resilient learners who are equipped to succeed in the 21st century. Our approach is centred around the development and support of the student through reflection and positive action taking. Our behaviour management protocol is balanced and relies on authentic and meaningful engagement with students, teachers, and parents. This ultimately makes SISD a very warm, kind and supportive place to be. We have received numerous amounts of praise and comments from parents, staff and in our various inspections, on the way we support and encourage children – a chance, choice and consequence approach. You only have to walk around our school and you will see that every door will be held open by a child – it’s about mutual respect, good manners and treating every child as an individual.’
