The support we offer is very much depednent on the needs of the indivdiual. In wome cases we collaborate with exetenal professionals and work collaboratively to support a child. In other cases we have withdrawl sessions to support the child in a 1:1 situation. All children receiving support will have an IEP to ensure that their specific learning needs are being met. These are reviwed every half term.

GAT children are supported depending on their needs. Each child will receive an IEP where we could set targets for in school support which would then be received to ensure progress.

This is an external provision.

Before enrolling new students we offer a 'taster' day in class which will allow us to assess the child and also for them to get a flavour of the school. We have found this to be helpful for the parents too.

We give written feedback to the parents, directed by the class teacher and the Principal. Upon receipt of admission paperwork, the Principal would then meet with the parents to finalise the infomration received and ask any questions to ensure all information is correct.

The Netherlands International School Lagos is a non-profit small-scale EYFS and primary school in Ikoyi which ensures a passion for learning is offered to all children in its care. We are proud of our warm and supportive community spirit.
At NISL, children aged 18 months to 11 years old are taught the British curriculum and the first language of teaching and learning is English though we do offer Dutch lessons to the children of Dutch nationals and our Dutch roots is a strong feature of our ethose and vision. Children of all nationalities, religion and cultural background are welcome and we celebrate diversity; not being a faith school in fact helps us to learn about and embrace ALL beliefs. We are a community based school with an open door approach and strong home-school relations.

We are fortunate to be able to offer at least 2 adults in all our classes - a class teacher and a teaching assistant. Both are focused on the individual as well as collective needs of the children in their care. Teaching is directed to support and enhance learning for ALL, ensuring that children are self motivated, own their own learning and grow to have a passion for learning whilst obtaining the knoweldge, skills and understanding to ensure 'Learning is for Life'.
Our teaching starts from our youngest learners at only 18 months old. It is a marvel to watch and be part of a child's learning jounrey at NISL as they start to collate their own learning tool kit made up of learning opportunities and experiences that mould them as children and have an added value to their growth and development. Throughout their time at NISL children are nurtured and cared for far beyond the academics - we strongly believe in the social and emotional growth of a child going hand in hand with their classroom based learning. We support and care for the hollistic development of all.
