English International School Newsletter of the 18th May 2026

Dear Parents,

This is the time of year when we are graced with the visits of several of our E.I.S. alumni. It is always a pleasure to receive those who have returned at the end of their academic year in university, and hear about how well they are doing.

Upcoming Public Holidays

School will be closed on Whit (Pentecost) Monday, 25th May

The Eid al-Adha (Tabaski) holiday, on calendars as 27th May, is yet to be confirmed.

Cambridge Examinations

Cambridge IGCSE and AS/A-level examinations are scheduled to end on 9th June. Cambridge releases the results of these examinations in August. Checkpoint Examinations for Year 6 and Year 9 students will end on 21st May. Students will be given their Statements of Achievement for Cambridge Checkpoint Tests in English, Mathematics and Science once the school receives them directly from Cambridge. The results of the internally monitored Cambridge Progression Tests for years 3 – 5 and 7 and 8 in English, Mathematics and Science will be discussed at Child Progress Conferences which teachers will arrange later in June.

Swimming Pool Closure

The Hotel Casa Cielo has informed us that their swimming pool will be closed for renovations until 13th June. Alternative activities will be arranged for those swimming periods.

Our sports teachers are busy organising an all-school day of sports activities. Children in their houses of Einstein, Newton and Mandela, will compete in fun races and games. More information will be forthcoming from class teachers.

Thank you for your cooperation.
