OUTSTANDING LEADERSHIP
Meet our Headteacher,
Jon Wayth
With extensive experience and a passion for education, Jon Wayth brings a wealth of knowledge to El Limonar International School Villamartín.
His leadership embodies a commitment to fostering holistic growth and a dynamic learning environment for students.
“As Headteacher of ELIS Villamartín, as a teacher and as a parent, I base my work on a single, fundamental belief: children can, and will receive many gifts in life, but the only one that will truly stay with them forever is a high-quality education. We clearly see that the education we provide for our students must, first and foremost, open as many doors as possible for their lives after school has finished.”

Our Year 5 students had an unforgettable day out at Río Safari Elche.
There was time for everything: getting a close look at big and small felines, zebras, giraffes, chimpanzees, caimans, flamingos, reptiles… and even a fun train ride to make sure we didn’t miss a thing!
We were also joined by expert guides who made the visit even more enriching.
A wonderful day of friendship, exploration and outdoor learning. 🌿🦒🐾
Nuestros alumnos de Year 5 disfrutaron de una salida inolvidable a Río Safari Elche.
Hubo tiempo para todo: observar de cerca grandes y pequeños felinos, cebras, jirafas, chimpancés, caimanes, flamencos, reptiles… ¡e incluso un recorrido en tren para no perdernos nada del parque!
Además, contamos con guías especializados que hicieron la visita aún más instructiva.
Una jornada fantástica de compañerismo, descubrimientos y aprendizaje al aire libre. 🌿🦒🐾
