Welcome to the English School website
The final term has arrived and this is the most nerve wracking for our students in Years 5, 6 and 7. The public examinations will soon begin, first with oral and practical examinations and then with the final written papers. We believe that the preparation the students have had, both in terms of academic knowledge from their teachers and the revision skills they were given last term, will allow them to do their very best and we wish them all our good wishes for every success.
In the meantime, the rest of the school gets on with its daily tasks of educating our young people. There will be a number of trips going out this term, so that children can also learn outside the classroom and we are planning a great deal of staff training and development during May and June so that our colleagues are prepared in September to bring in some of the curriculum, pedagogic and quality assurance changes that are highlighted in our strategic plan,(a copy of which all parents will have received during the last week of last term, along with the latest edition of The Canon magazine).
The Entrance Exams also take place and we are looking forward to meeting our prospective candidates on May 15th. I would also like to wish all these candidates all the very best as they take the examination.
