This Annual Report gives a detailed record of the main activities and achievements during the last school year. We are very proud of the accomplishments of every student and I hope that you will enjoy reading about the huge range of opportunities which students have taken part in during a very busy year. As you are aware, the Board of Management has prioritised the development and refurbishment of school buildings. I am pleased to report that the majority of this work is nearing completion and I hope you will be able to visit and enjoy the new Newham building in the near future. In conclusion, I would like to thank all members of The English School staff for their continued hard work and dedication to students. I am very grateful also to parents and guardians for their support of all aspects of school life.
