Year 10-11 Football Tournament
Saturday, 17 November 2018
Congratulations to all players in the tournament on Thursday 15th November. Mr O’Riordan made the following comment about the competition:
‘We won 1 game, lost 1 and drew 1 and only went out on goal difference so we came 5th overall. We have a very strong squad and most of our players can play again next year so I’m really looking forward to that- something to build on and hope to win next year!’

3rd prize in the World Robot Olympiad!!!
Monday, 01 October 2018
We wish to congratulate Razwan, Guillermo and Mateo, from the KS3 Robotics Club in Secondary, who came third in the Spanish finals of the World Robot Olympiad in September. This is a tremendous achievement. This group, classed in the ‘rookie’ category, had to build their robot from scratch and undertake a specific task in under 2 minutes. 80 groups participated and ISM was the only school to do so. This activity points to the future, as we are told that many of the jobs of the future will be done by robots. At ISM we are very aware that we need to prepare our students for jobs which have not yet been invented. This means a focus on skills and abilities, including social, communication and language skills and emotional intelligence.

ISM 2018 Musical
Thursday, 28 June 2018
‘Two evening shows, plus a matinée with ISM Primary and pupils from Numont School ended a whole year of preparation by a close-knit team of pupils from Years 6 to 13: from actors, dancers, make-up and sound and light technicians, directors, mothers who prepared costumes, the art department who created wonderful masks and other items, and Alfonso Forga, who helped to put together incredible stage items and animal structures. The singing, acting and dancing were impeccable and very professional. A big thankyou to Conchita Sande, the Director, together with Sarah Kingston, Mr. Roberto, Clare and Begoña in the Art room with their Art students, and all the actors, actresses, and many others behind the scenes, for what, for many, is the best musical so far, from an artistic, as well as a technical point of view. A magical event in which the audience experienced the full beauty of the Savannah. Well done to all involved! We are already looking forward to next year´s musical! ‘
