Mr Paul Iacco is currently on a well deserved paternity leave. He will return after the October break. As Head of School, Mr Conan de Wilde will be acting as Head of Programme MYP 1-3 during Mr Iacco’s personal leave.
“Since my arrival at the end of August I have been working with Mr Iacco and teachers to address the following issues:
- to reduce teacher absences and ensure that learning takes place in all classes (even when absences occur);
- to improve our support of English language learning;
- to benchmark (compared to other national and international curricula) the expectations for the maths curriculum and ensure that students master this curriculum.
These efforts will take time and progress is rarely linear, but I know, from recent exchanges with some parents, that you share our desire to improve our approach to these challenges. I gather that some of you are also sharing thoughts via class WhatsApp groups. I would appreciate a chance to hear from you so that you can inform both the decisions we take and how we communicate these.
Please join me by Webex at this link:
- on Friday, 14th October 2022, at 12:00;
- on Monday, 17th October 2022, at 16:30;
- on Thursday 20th October 2022, at 13:30.
I look forward to hearing from you about what is going well and what we can improve.“
Conan de Wilde (Head of School)
