English International School Newsletter of the 19th June 2026

Dear Parents,

As we approach the end of our academic year, 2025 – 2026, we look back and project forward. It was an exciting start to this academic year, with a newly renovated lower school and new classrooms on the field for Years 4, 5 and 6. Little did we know that our school community would be later plunged into grief due to the untimely passing of a teacher who had been with us for over 16 years. Our school is like a family, and those who have been with us for many years will readily agree. We are a community, and we support one another in difficult times. We keep the family of Mrs. Tobi Inegbenijie in our prayers, and we hope for calmer days ahead.

Please note the following information:

E.I.S. Sports / Fun Days – Monday & Tuesday, 22nd and 23rd June

Our sports teachers have organised days of fun races and games. We hope for clement weather.

Monday – Reception through Year 6

Tuesday – Years 7 through 13

More information will be forthcoming from Class Teachers.

Cambridge International Examinations

We await the results of externally moderated Cambridge Checkpoint Examinations for Years 6 and 9. Parents will be contacted to retrieve their children’s official certificates once they will have arrived in school from Cambridge. IGCSE and AS/A-level results are to be released in August. Years 11 – 13 students are aware of how to retrieve their results.

You may consult the Cambridge International Education website for detailed information on Cambridge Exams.

Last Day of Term / Prize Giving for Years 3 – 13: Tuesday, 30th June, Chinese Cultural Centre Pavillion

We close out the academic year on this day with a farewell ceremony (from 10:00 – 11:30), during which we reflect on the academic year, award prizes and wish our university bound students good luck. We will ask parents to kindly take their children directly to the Chinese Cultural Centre by 9:30 on that day.

Please note that the last day of school for Playschool through Year 2 children will be on Monday, 29th June.

School Uniform and Equipment

Whilst looking ahead to the next academic year, please refer to the school website’s Uniform and Equipment section to make sure that your child will be appropriately attired and adequately prepared.

The school calendar for Academic Year 2026 – 2027 is out and should be consulted when making travel plans. Please note that the next academic year will begin on Monday, 14th September 2026.

I wish you, in advance, a pleasant, safe and healthy holiday, and thank you for your cooperation and support throughout the school year.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Yours sincerely,

Rebecca Khelseau-Carsky

Head teacher
