Despite the lockdown, we were delighted to celebrate World Book Day at ISM with a dressing up competition judged by writers and storytellers from the UK, teachers sharing their favourite stories, older students reading to the younger ones, along with a whole host of other book related activities. We love reading!

Whilst the outbreak of Covid-19 has led to the authorities closing the doors to the schools, learning continues. It’s the first time we’ve ever had to shut the school and we can’t wait to see all of students, in person, again soon. But, in the meantime, remote teaching continues via Google Classroom and Google Meet, meaning that students can keep up with their studies and can keep interacting with their teachers and friends throughout the normal school hours.

Having once again achieved more awards than any other of the 130 Cambridge examination centres in Spain, Mr Wickham was delighted to be the only head teacher awarded not one, but two special plaques in recognition of our students’ achievement. These plaques, for our ten Outstanding Cambridge Learner awards, were presented at this year’s NABSS conference by Nick Mazur from Cambridge Assessment International.

The school was delighted to have Mr. Mark Howard, Director of the British Council, as special guest at the prize giving organised to celebrate the Cambridge Outstanding Learner awards. Eight ISM students earned these prestigious awards this year. A fantastic achievement!

Thanks to all those involved in this year’s Christmas Shows – packing out a thousand seater theatre across two nights! Highlights included ballet, modern dance, percussion and the musicals ‘Lights, Camel, Action’, ‘Oliver!’, ‘Away in a Manger’ and ‘The Nativity’.

The theme of this year’s Art Contest was ‘Nature’. Once again, we were inundated with entries from pupils in Nursery to Year 6. The winning entries are now displayed on the main staircase and the winning artists will receive their certificates and prizes later in the week. All other entries are also currently on show around the school. Thanks and congratulations to all who participated!
