Educate
ICSS began as a supplementary school open to children of all backgrounds and faiths and entirely run by unpaid volunteers. The schools were set in up in the London boroughs of Newham in 2004 and in Tower Hamlets in 2009. At ICSS we inspire our students to aim high by achieving their goals and helping others including their younger peers and within the local community.
READ MOREWho we are
ICSS is an entirely volunteer run organisation that operates in the London Boroughs of Newham and Tower Hamlets since 2004. 100% of charity income is spent on projects we undertake. 0% is used for any salaries. The school is open to children of all backgrounds and faiths and we strongly believe that our students (from a wide range of ethnic backgrounds) need to be encouraged to integrate into British society, and our volunteers play an important part in this as role models.

OUR TEAM
Our volunteers are as diverse as the community around us - doctors, accountants, solicitors, and local businessmen being just some examples of the various backgrounds we hail from.
