At the start of a new school year I would like to welcome all pupils who are either joining the Secondary School for the first time and those who are returning after what we hope was a wonderful summer holiday and come back to school with a desire to learn.

We would like to invite you and your son/daughter to a presentation concerning the University Visit Programme 2012. The presentation is designed to clarify the objective of the visit and give an overview of how Canterbury School prepares students for University life. The visit programme is designed specifically to aid your son/daughter to decide if studying abroad beyond Canterbury School is suitable for them and give them an invaluable insight into life at University in general

We would like to invite you and your son/daughter to a presentation concerning the options available for S4 students considering Higher Education after Canterbury School. The presentation is designed to clarify the different routes available, provide detail of both Spanish and British systems in S5 and S6, and give an overview of how Canterbury School prepares students for this transition period in their life.

On Thursday 15th September there will be an information meeting at 4.15 pm in the school theatre. Attached you will find a downloadable information booklet for you to read before the meeting.

 Your son/daughter has successfully entered the Sixth Form (S5/S6) at Canterbury School. The Sixth Form is beyond compulsory education and is principally in place to assist your son/daughter to gain accession into Higher Education establishments; albeit a University or a vocational training institution.

In preparation for September could you please ensure that each student has an English dictionary. Also, please find attached lists of suggested fiction for Lower School students. These lists are in no way compulsory reading, rather recommendations if your child wishes to keep up their reading habits over the summer!

To prospective S5 students and parents. It is hoped that your son/daughter will successfully enter the Sixth Form (S5) at Canterbury School next academic year (September 2011). Sixth Form education is beyond compulsory education and is principally in place to assist your son/daughter to gain accession into Higher Education establishments; albeit a University or a vocational training institution.

A group of 22 students from S5 recently visited the UK and several universities (University of the West of England, Bath Spa University, London School of Economics, University College London, Imperial College, Kings and Queens... among others).

On Friday 17th June P6 students performed Peter Pan in the school theatre. All P6 students were involved, not only performing but also taking care of technical aspects of the play. They did a fantastic job and developed teamwork abilities at the same time.

We remind you that Parents Evening will be held on Tuesday 28th June 2-5 pm. Also recuperations will take place on Monday 5th September 8.40 am.

The Award Leaders at the Canterbury School would like to offer our most sincere congratulations to the sixteen members of the A level group (S6c) who have successfully completed their Bronze International Award (Duke of Edinburgh's Award). Throughout the year, the students have completed the four sections of the award (Service & volunteering, Physical, Skills and Expedition) with great enthusiasm and we firmly believe they have learnt a lot about themselves as well as others.

If any student already wants to be entered for any IGCSE/AS or A level in October/November, the student must contact the Head teacher, Pedro Tomas, by Friday 17th June in order to make the entry. It will possible to make entries also in September.

S3 students will face their Mock exams from Wednesday 15th of June until the 23rd. These are very important exams half way through the IGCSE course and the grades give and indication of the level the student has at this stage.
