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.”

👀 Learning to understand, understanding to include 👀
As a closing activity of our disability awareness events, our Year 6 students visited the ONCE Educational Resource Centre in Alicante, taking part in a meaningful session on visual impairment.
Through a series of workshops, students were able to:
• explore the Braille system with a hands-on activity;
• discover assistive technology (typhlotechnology) used by students with visual impairment;
• learn how to interact with and guide people with total or partial visual impairment appropriately.
Thanks to Julián, who shared his personal experience, students gained valuable insights into the importance of empathy, inclusion and everyday actions that truly make a difference. 💚
👀 Aprender para comprender, comprender para incluir 👀
Como cierre de nuestras actividades de concienciación sobre la discapacidad, el alumnado de Year 6 visitó el Centro de Recursos Educativos de la ONCE en Alicante, participando en una jornada de sensibilización sobre la discapacidad visual.
A través de diferentes talleres, el alumnado pudo:
• conocer el sistema Braille y experimentar su uso de forma práctica;
• descubrir herramientas de tiflotecnología que apoyan el aprendizaje de personas con discapacidad visual;
• aprender cómo interactuar y guiar adecuadamente a personas con ceguera total o parcial.
Gracias a Julián, que compartió su experiencia personal, los alumnos profundizaron en la importancia de la empatía, la inclusión y los pequeños gestos que marcan la diferencia en el día a día. 💚
