We are very proud of our comitted teaching staff and our interested and ambitious students. The school has a strong tradition in social learning and wellbeing. There is an extra lesson for morning circle within the timetable every Monday morning, and class council is a part of every class from year 3/4 at the latest.
Erasmus + V.A.N. is our first Erasmus partnership and has been a very rewarding experience for the students and teachers participating in it. The focus of this project, the development of emotional intelligence through creativity, has been among the main aims of the school, so it was a wonderful fit for us.
