Another school has reached a major milestone on their Improving Learning journey 🎉

Congratulations to Straits International School, Rawang for achieving IPC Recognition.

We are proud of you!

Change happens best when staff are supported and empowered to participate.

At Greengates School Mexico, staff were brought into every stage of the implementation of the Monster Phonics DfE Validated Phonics Programme. The result is a transition which was smooth and highly successful.

A new academic year is the perfect time to take a step back, reflect, and ask: how are we really doing?

Our Self-Review Series is open to any school, and our next live session is 15 September 2026. It’s a free, one-hour session led by our School Services team, giving you practical tools and honest conversations to help your school start the year with purpose.

“Learning and play are polar opposites.”

This is one of the biggest misconceptions in education today. Research shows that learning is actually one of play’s biggest functions – and play-based learning approaches result in better engagement and retention.

Want to level-up your play-based practice? Join our Play Hub: https://pd.internationalcurriculum.com/play-hub

In rapidly changing times, how can you cut through the noise and work out what really matters for your school?

Through expert talks and practical workshops, we’ll address this question and more at our International Curriculum Conference 2026.

Our Getting Started for Leaders courses are built for new and developing curriculum leaders across our International Curriculum.

It's 10 hours of flexible, self-paced learning packed with practical guidance, real examples from schools like yours, and space to reflect and connect with other leaders.
