It’s enough to make your hair stand on end!
 |
When it comes to Physics lessons at Wingate School, Tenerife children enjoy electrifying and unforgettable practicals! Ever had trouble explaining Static electricity? Experiments with the Van de Graaff Generator bring reality to the classroom and provide the latest in hair styles! Hunter (Year 9) volunteered to model the innovative design in class, and add a “spark” of humour to the ensuing discussion. All of our students study Science in well-equipped laboratories, and have the opportunity to study all three separate sciences to GCSE, AS and A level standards of the University of Cambridge and EDEXEL Boards.

No hurdle too high!
 |
Wingate School, Tenerife, can boast of many talented students both in the classroom and on the sports field, from Golf to Tennis, Volleyball, Surfing and Soccer. Less common is to reach a high level in Equestrian events but Year 9 student Ailsa Ballantyne, regularly competes in inter island and even national events. The photos attached show Ailsa riding her new horse to a silver medal at a regional show jumping event in Adeje in November. Competing against much older riders over 3 days, Ailsa gained experience and confidence with her new horse

Fun Run for “Children on the Edge”
 |
On Friday 25th November 2011, Senior School students from Wingate School, Tenerife, participated in a Fun Run at the adjacent Cabo Blanco Soccer Field. After assemblies and class work themes about the charity which supports orphans in war torn Burma, our students decided to raise funds and at the same time put their fitness to the test. They ran a cumulative total of over 600 kilometres in just 50 minutes, and raised an impressive 700 Euros.
|
|
Special mention must go to Alessandro di Martini who individually raised over 100 Euros and received a certificate at the December Awards Ceremony from the Head of Senior School, Mr. G. Hurrell. The start of the Fun run for Years 7 to 9 is shown in the photograph. Wingate School is a great believer in “Service-Learning” along with charitable work in the community and also supported “Walk For Life”and the local Adeje Orphanage at the end of term. Wingate 6th students (Years 12 and 13) helped collect, wrap and distribute toys during December and finished the calendar year with a toy sale for further funds. Congratulations to all students for their support and enthusiasm.

Nursery &
Infants
-
Ages 3 to 7
We have a well-equipped Nursery with all its own facilities
at Cabo Blanco in Tenerife. The children have their
own enclosed playground with a separate entrance for safety.
In the Infants we follow the British National Curriculum as far as possible, with extra
attention given to speaking and listening
in English. In addition, Spanish is taught to all our children in Years 1 and 2.
The Juniors
-
Ages
7 to 11
A full rounded British education
in English is offered, including music,
art, pottery, drama, and a strong emphasis on Spanish in all
Years. In Tenerife, learning Spanish is important
from an early age.
The
classes are set for Spanish into three
groups (beginners, intermediate and fluent,) so that each
child can work at their level.
There
are four classes:- Years 3, 4, 5 and Year 6.
Wingate Seniors
- Ages 11 to 16
We aim for the highest possible
level of achievement for each student academically, physically and socially
at this British School in Tenerife.
We teach a secondary curriculum in English based on the English National Curriculum
with Spanish as a core subject along side English, Maths, ICT and
Science. Students are set for English and Maths from Year 7, Science from Year
8 and French from Year 9.
Homework is a vital part of the study programme and all students are
expected to attempt all homework. The only choice for secondary
education in English in the South of Tenerife.
Wingate Sixth
-
The right choice for
post 16 learning
A key requirement for entry to Wingate Sixth is a willingness to work in lessons,
during private study time and at home.
A good command of the English language is also essential.
We offer 10 subjects to AS and A Level, taught by experienced and
enthusiastic teachers. University applications have been 100%
successful. Students can gain access to the world's
universities from Tenerife.
