Procedures for questions, suggestions and complaints at ISLK

The principal has the overall responsibility at ISLK. However, the school has a delegated leadership with clear areas of responsibilities. Therefore, we like for students, and guardians to contact the right person with their questions or concerns. It is usually best to send an email with the question. If you want to meet a member of staff in person, a time can be booked which suits everybody. Normally the class teacher/mentor or subject teacher is the first point of contact for students and guardians.

Teaching and learning

If there is a question with regards to the teaching and learning in a class or subject, always contact the teacher. They are the experts of the subjects or units and know what happens in the class or group of students.

Curriculum

If there is a more general curriculum question, or if there is a question with regards to teaching and learning which the teacher cannot answer, one can contact the programme coordinator. They are the experts of the programmes and supervise and guide the teachers in the implementation of the IB curricula. They also keep abreast of all the updates, reviews, and developments of the programmes.

Student wellbeing

If there is a question with regards to a student’s wellbeing, contact the class teacher or the mentor of the class first. They see the students often and have the overall responsibility of the pastoral care of the students.

If there is a concern with regards to the learning, which has first been addressed with the teacher, one can contact the Learning support coordinator for the respective programme. The Learning support coordinator works closely with the teachers to make sure there are strategies for support in the classroom.

School routines

If there are questions or concerns with regards to school routines, talk to the mentor och class teacher. If they do not know the answer, they will refer the question to the coordinators or vice principal/principal.

Incidents and safety concerns

If a student reports an incident in school at home, connected to classes or break time, contact the mentor och class teacher if they have not already contacted you. All reported incidents are investigated into.

If there is a general concern for safety in school, contact the principal.
