What’s On
From IGCSE Spanish to DELE Success
The English School congratulates Year 6 student Marilita Alkiviadi on successfully passing the DELE A2 Spanish examination.
After completing her IGCSE Spanish course at School, Marilita continued to develop her language skills through The English School’s after-school DELE Club, where she prepared for this internationally recognised qualification.
Her achievement also highlights the opportunities available to students who wish to continue developing their language skills beyond IGCSE. More Year 6 students are currently preparing for the DELE A2 examination through the Club.
We congratulate Marilita on her achievement and wish our future DELE candidates every success as they continue their Spanish language journey.
First Place on the World Stage!
The English School congratulates Year 4 student Ioanna Ioannou on achieving first place at the UDO World Street Dance Championship, held in Blackpool, UK, in August.
Competing together with her crew in the U18 Novice category, Ioanna proudly represented Cyprus on the international stage at one of the world’s leading street dance competitions.
Securing first place is an outstanding achievement and reflects the talent, dedication and teamwork required to compete successfully at this level.
We warmly congratulate Ioanna and her team on their international success and wish continued achievement in the future.

Welcoming Our New Year 1 Students
The English School was delighted to welcome its new Year 1 students as they began an exciting new chapter in their educational journey.
To support their transition into School life, students first took part in a two-day trip to Club Jubilee, where a programme of team-building activities gave them the opportunity to get to know one another, develop connections and begin forming new friendships.
On 7 September, students were welcomed to campus by the Headmaster and Pastoral Team for their Induction Day. Throughout the day, they spent time with their Head of Year and Form Tutors, toured the campus, met student ambassadors and became familiar with the School’s digital platforms and daily routines.
These activities form part of the School’s approach to ensuring that new students feel welcomed, supported and confident as they settle into their new environment.
We wish all our new Year 1 students a happy and successful start to their journey at The English School.

Exploring Science on a Global Stage: LIYSF 2026
Eight English School students travelled to London this summer to participate in the London International Youth Science Forum (LIYSF) 2026, one of the world’s most prestigious STEM summer programmes, held at Imperial College London.

The programme included lectures from Nobel Prize winners and leading researchers, visits to renowned scientific establishments and opportunities for students to present their own research at the Science Bazaar.
Participation in LIYSF provided our students with the opportunity to engage with science beyond the classroom, exchange ideas with young people from around the world and explore future possibilities within STEM.
We congratulate all eight students on an experience that reflects their passion for science, intellectual curiosity and commitment to learning.
