Wingate School Canary Islands Spain

(Tenerife) Wingate School is located in the small village of Cabo Blanco approximately 5 km's above the town of Los Cristianos. The school has grown over the years and now offer's a comprehensive and complete secondary education for children.

The school is small by U.K. standards and classroom capacity is kept to a minimum. This allows children attending the school, to receive quality education from the teaching staff. Children make many long term friendships within the school and often continue their contacts outside the school environment.

The school offers many activities including dance and computer clubs, summer school activities and has a very good drama department, which has produced some memorable plays. Whilst the school still believes in the older values of respect for oneself and others, discipline and attention to work, it also offers a caring and nurturing environment for children.

Wingate school comprises of three distinct parts; the Infant Department, the Junior Department and the Senior school, each with its own head.  All staff are British trained, fully qualified and experienced, except for the Spanish teachers, who are all three  graduates of Spanish Universities, with the appropriate teaching qualifications. Many of the members of staff have been teaching at the school for ten years or more.

The school follows the British National Curriculum and children sit their SATs at ages 7, 11 and 14 years.  For children aged 11 and 14 years these tests are returned to the UK for marking.  Parents are informed how their child is progressing and of how the school as a whole is doing compared to UK norms.   In addition to the National Curriculum, Spanish is taught from Year 2.  The work is carefully differentiated to cope with different levels of ability.  Children in Years 10 and 11 follow the University of Cambridge International General Certificate of Secondary Education (I.G.C.S.E.) syllabuses.

A school bus service is available and covers areas such as Golf del Sur and Los Gigantes, as well as Los Cristianos and Playa de las Américas.
