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.”

💗 Spreading kindness this Valentine’s Day at ELIS 💗
In PSHE, our Year 5 pupils filled each other’s jars with compliments.
Moving around the classroom, they wrote something positive about every classmate before returning to find their own jar full of kind words. ✨
What better feeling than hearing something positive about yourself?
Activities like this remind us how important student wellbeing is. When children feel valued, safe and cared for, they are better prepared to learn and to grow. 💬💖
Fostering kindness, care and a positive classroom atmosphere is at the heart of everything we do at ELIS.
Happy Valentine’s Day! 💌
💗 Compartiendo amabilidad este Día de San Valentín en ELIS 💗
En PSHE, el alumnado de Year 5 llenó los frascos de sus compañeros con cumplidos.
Se movieron por el aula escribiendo algo positivo sobre cada miembro de la clase y, al volver a su sitio, encontraron su propio frasco lleno de palabras amables. ✨
¿Hay algo mejor que escuchar algo positivo sobre uno mismo?
Actividades como esta nos recuerdan lo importante que es el bienestar del alumnado. Sentirse bien es clave para aprender bien. 💬💖
Cuidar el cariño entre compañeros, fomentar la amabilidad y crear un ambiente positivo en el aula es algo esencial que debemos generar y potenciar cada día en ELIS.
¡Feliz Día de San Valentín! 💌
