Message from The Principal The parents’ guild also held a very successful bake sale and put together our first school recipe book with contributions from parents, students, and staff. The monitoring visit led by our International Team with members of our London school took place in the week beginning 25th April. I am very pleased to report that they graded the leadership, curriculum and teaching and learning all outstanding.
