The Schools Trust

The Schools Trust is a UK registered charity (Registration Number 1176052), acting as a governance body and promoting educational excellence. Across every Schools Trust school, the guiding principles are the same: academic excellence, character development, risk taking and enjoyment, and an international perspective grounded in British values.

Our Trustees have over fifty years of combined experience founding and operating gold standard international schools. As a governing board, they help schools set policies, provide guidance when implementing school development plans, structure management systems, and oversee the charity work of the organisation. Our Trustees have founded more than 15 international schools and developed over 30 school campuses worldwide. Each school has been built from the ground up, starting small and evolving over the years. This approach ensures strict quality control while allowing every school to develop its own unique identity.

"ISJ is a happy, warm and big-hearted place where we help boys and girls develop the building blocks for a lifelong love of learning."

— Founding Head, Ms. Emma Webb

Inspection Highlights

As with all Schools Trust schools, ISJ will be inspected periodically by UK-qualified inspectors such as ISI or Penta International, as part of the British Schools Overseas (BSO) accreditation framework.

"The quality of pupils' achievements and learning" rated as "excellent" and the school achieved "excellent in all eight categories of educational provision."

— ISI Inspection Report

Students described as "ambitious, articulate, and demonstrating exemplary attitudes to learning," with an overall judgement of "Excellent in all areas."

— BSO Inspection under ISI

These outcomes reflect the consistently high academic standards and quality of education across The Schools Trust network—the same standards now guiding ISJ's journey toward full BSO accreditation.
