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 school community came together to mark Remembrance Day with respect and reflection. 🌺
Year 5 led a thoughtful and moving tribute, joined by their younger peers from Years 3 and 4, as we all paused for the traditional two-minute silence to honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. 🕊️
We are incredibly proud of our pupils for showing such maturity, empathy and understanding on this meaningful day. ❤️
