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 10 students brought their Trigonometry learning to life with an exciting hands-on lesson!
After building their own clinometers in class, 10A and 10B headed outdoors to try them out. Using their handmade tools, they explored the heights of trees, buildings and even the climbing frame — discovering how maths helps us understand the world around us.
What a brilliant way to learn! 😉📐✨
Nuestro alumnado de Year 10 dio vida a sus aprendizajes de trigonometría con una actividad práctica de lo más motivadora.
Tras construir sus propios clinómetros en el aula, los grupos 10A y 10B salieron al exterior para ponerlos en acción. Con sus herramientas caseras exploraron la altura de árboles, edificios e incluso del parque infantil, descubriendo cómo las matemáticas nos ayudan a entender el mundo que nos rodea.
Así da gusto aprender. 😉📐✨

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. 🌿🦒🐾

Además, contamos con guías especializados que hicieron la visita aún más instructiva.
Una jornada fantástica de compañerismo, descubrimientos y aprendizaje al aire libre. 🌿🦒🐾
