English International School Newsletter of the 20th March 2025

Dear Parents,

As we approach the end of our second term at school, we call your attention to the following:

Child Progress Conferences

Conferences have been going on this week, and some will continue into early next week.

End of Second Term

The last day of this term will be a full day of school on Friday, 28th March. You will notice the change on the school website calendar. The school break between second and third terms will take place from 31st March – 1st April, inclusive. Classes will resume on Wednesday, 2nd April for Term Three.

The Fancy Hat Parade (a tradition in school) has been moved to 18th April, which will begin the Easter weekend. On 18th April, there will be a half day of school.

Cambridge Externally Moderated Examinations

External Primary and Lower Secondary Checkpoint Examinations for Year 6 and Year 9 will be held during the week of 14th April. The written Cambridge IGCSE and AS/A-level Examinations will begin on 25th April and run through 11th June. Students in Years 11 – 13 have received their exam timetables.

DELF (Département de Langue Française) Exams – Institut Français

DELF exams begin next month, with different dates scheduled depending on your registration. E.I.S. French teachers have provided information at school, along with encouraging participation to receive this qualification awarded by the French Ministry of Education. Further information regarding these exams may be obtained at the Institut Français.

Class Timetables

Attendance and participation in all lessons on your child’s timetable (including physical education, music, etc.) are required. Exemption from a lesson at a given time, due to a valid reason, must be requested by means of a note from a parent or guardian.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Yours sincerely,

Rebecca Khelseau-Carsky

Head teacher
