School Facilities
IPS Primary moved into purpose-built, eco-friendly premises in September 2010.
The Secondary school currently has a brand new site in development that is just 5 minutes away from our Primary.
Our buildings are designed specifically to benefit the children's learning experiences and arranged to create a cohesive feel. This helps pupils to feel safe, included, and confident in an environment they will quickly become familiar with.
IPS Cascais Primary School
Our Primary school is built fit for purpose. We try to use every corner of our premises to contribute to the teaching and learning that takes place.
The building has no stairs, making all areas, both inside and out, easily accessible for young children and adults alike. Spacious classrooms have access to outside areas to make the most of the beautiful weather in Portugal. Separate play areas for different age groups ensure that children develop confidence amongst peers.
The large central ‘atrium’ is used for shows, art exhibitions, PTA events, and pick-up at the end of the day.
Display boards positioned in classrooms and common areas ensure children’s work is prominently displayed throughout the school giving a vibrant, colourful atmosphere to the rooms and a sense of pride in the children whose work is displayed.
A Sustainable Primary School
Our Primary School features Trombe walls, green roofs, and other eco-features. It was built using the guiding principles detailed in LiderA, a voluntary system for the assessment of sustainable construction.
New Secondary School Underway
The construction of our modern, purpose-built Secondary school is now underway.
The new site is situated close to our Primary school and is just a 5 minute drive up the road. It is here that we’ll set the highest standards in education by building on strong foundations, with the same spirit, and we will deliver holistic, high-quality education in a caring atmosphere across all age groups.
