Life at Wingate goes beyond the classroom as we guide our students’ transition from childhood to adulthood during their time in our care

As we guide our students through their growth we provide an innovative curriculum, extra-curricular activities and excursions in a caring community. We believe in a child’s educational and emotional development. Read on to learn more about life at Wingate.

Curriculum

We pride ourselves that our curriculum goes beyond academic objectives, at Wingate we focus on each individual child

We prepare our students 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.

At Wingate we follow the National Curriculum set out by the Department for Education of the British Government. This curriculum is under constant revision by educational experts and is kept modern and suited to preparing children for higher studies or employment later on in their lives.

Excursions

Excursions enhance the curriculum by allowing students to better grasp and retain concepts. Learning by doing!

Excursions promote engagement levels, build confidence, teamwork and create connections with others. Each year students at Wingate take an active role in helping choose the activities for that year. Take a look at some of our previous excursions.

Whale watching
Beach clean ups
Dog rescue
whale-watching

Whale watching

Tenerife is an incredible place for whale watching as it is home to large resident populations of Pilot whales and Bottlenose dolphins.

beach-clean-ups

Beach clean ups

At Wingate we teach our students to give back to the community which resulted in one of our excursions being dedicated to cleaning up our beautiful beaches.

dog-rescue

Dog rescue

Wingate searches for opportunities for our students to participate and help with community projects. Working and walking the dogs give benefits and education about animal care to our students and the dogs receive love,attention and more walks! So this makes this a very beneficial project for all.

Green Park Recreational Area

Introducing the new Green Park Recreational Area at Wingate

We are excited to announce a new recreational area and all the possibilities that come along with it. Whether it will be a chance for students and teachers to create new clubs or what it will add to the activities available at Wingate School. There will be options for our students to participate with their peers in a game of table tennis, giant chess, volleyball and badminton. They will also be given the chance to take a step back and withdraw to a quiet corner to either study or read a book.

Wingate also has a basketball court, an indoor theatre, and extensive use of the local astroturf football pitch.

Vegetable Gardens and Butterfly Conservatory

We have just created an ecological garden area to teach children where food comes from and how vegetables grow. The children learn this vital knowledge as part of their lessons, during Lunchtime clubs and even after school activities. The food grown is either taken away by the children, or used in our canteen as a healthy addition to our catering service.

We are currently constructing a Butterfly Conservatory to house and protect our marvellous Monarch Butterflies that our children watch grow from eggs, to caterpillars, to cocoons to full grown butterflies. When we are lucky we can even watch the transition from caterpillar to chrysalis and then watch the butterfly emerge and stretch and dry its wings 2 weeks later.

Innovation and sustainability

Wingate School is committed to fostering a sustainable and innovative community for our students through continuous improvement efforts.

Wingate is among the first schools in Tenerife to fully embrace digital education. The use of digital learning tools in classrooms enhances student engagement, enables teachers to refine their lesson plans, and supports personalised learning. By leveraging technological advancements such as Unifrog, we help students develop essential modern skills while providing an enjoyable way to learn how to navigate the internet safely.

Our commitment to the cause

In 2016, we installed solar panels, enabling Wingate to achieve nearly 100% sustainability. We also transitioned all lighting to energy-efficient LED bulbs. To foster environmental awareness, we teach our students the importance of recycling and strive to be paperless. Additionally, Wingate has implemented a hot-looped running water system, significantly reducing daily water consumption. Our students learn to respect the environment through initiatives like the “Biologists for a Day - Whale Watching Excursion” and regular beach clean-ups.
