Why you should enrol?
Holistic approach to learning
We prepare our pupils for life after school, not just by giving them a broad and well balanced education but also by instilling correct values and attitudes to give them the best start in life. We nurture a love of learning, alongside a stimulating and inspiring learning journey to achieve these goals. Our exam results speak for themselves IGCSE and A-level.
Class sizes
With an average student to teacher ratios of 14:1, your child gets the individual attention necessary for them to thrive. Children are known personally by their teachers which not only gives the children a feeling of self worth and improves their self confidence, but also allows the staff to carefully monitor the child’s development.
Children are individuals
We recognise and acknowledge the unique spirit and talent of each individual child. Children have a sense of belonging in a supportive and happy environment where their range of talents and creativity will be nurtured enabling them to achieve excellence.
Student behaviour
We expect high standards of behaviour of our pupils at all times and have full control of which students are allowed to study at Wingate. This ensures that the learning environment around your child is correctly maintained. We encourage respectful, open and tolerant attitudes towards other pupils and the students are responsive to this. Have a look at our school policies here
Quality of teaching staff
We have a robust recruiting process and full control of our employment policies to ensure the best teachers are always at Wingate. We know how important having quality staff is to the education of your child and, at this school, teachers are highly valued and respected. They are all dedicated to creating a genuine love of learning within each pupil and are trained to promote independent thinking throughout the school.
Languages
The level of English in the school is second to none in the whole of Spain. Children are surrounded by native English speaking teachers and are immersed in the English language at all times. Your child is surrounded constantly by high quality English (by staff and other students) and soon becomes fluent. With 4 full time native Spanish teachers teaching your child Spanish as a second language up to 5 classes a week, the level of Spanish in the school is maintained at a high level, preparing the children also for a career in Spain.
Technology
All our senior students from Year 5 onward work with Chromebooks and Google Classroom full time, Years 3 & 4 have access to a class set. This enables them to develop their computer skills and prepares them for a career in a modern office. They research class material, do their homework, play creative learning games, read their textbooks, give presentations… and more, all on their own personal laptop.
Diversity
With over 20 different nationalities at the school and a very active approach to diversity, students are prepared to be a part of a global community where attitudes and experiences are shared. An understanding and consideration of others is not just taught but also experienced.
Active parent participation
We also have a Parent Portal available where parents can access their child's academic information and track their progress in real-time. We encourage open communication, as we believe that the partnership between parents and teachers is vital to helping children reach their full potential. In both Foundation and Primary School we regularly invite parents to Open Classes, providing an opportunity to observe their child's learning firsthand. Additionally, we hold Open Days across the entire school, where parents can engage in one-on-one discussions with individual teachers about their child's development.
