									<p>At Aspire International School, we believe in celebrating hard work, dedication, and academic excellence — and our Spanish students have given us every reason to cheer!</p><p>As the term came to a close, our Year 10 and 11 Spanish learners were treated to an exciting day trip to <strong>Seville</strong>, soaking up the language, culture, and sunshine of this historic Andalusian city. But this wasn’t just a fun excursion — it was a celebration well-earned.</p><h2><strong>Early A level Success at Key Stage 4</strong></h2><p>While most students begin A level studies in Years 12 and 13, <strong>four exceptional Aspire students — Mayra, Kai, Maria, and Sofia — have already taken on the challenge early</strong>, sitting their <strong>first Spanish A level unit</strong> this January. The result? Outstanding grades across the board — <strong>A and B results</strong> from students still in Key Stage 4!</p><p>This is a remarkable achievement that not only reflects their talent and discipline, but also demonstrates how Aspire’s flexible, student-focused curriculum allows learners to <strong>advance at their own pace</strong>, unlocking potential and paving the way to future university success.</p><p><a href="https://www.aspireinternational.school/events/secondary-school-algarve-a-pathway-to-igcses-a-levels-and-global-success" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Learn more about A levels at Aspire →</a></p><p><a href="https://www.aspireinternational.school/events/university-guidance-at-aspire-international-school-preparing-futures-shaping-dreams">See how we guide students towards global university pathways →</a></p><h3><strong>A Shout-Out to Ms. Lynette</strong></h3><p>None of this would be possible without the incredible support and passion of <a href="https://www.aspireinternational.school/staff/lynette-violante"><strong>Ms Lynette</strong></a>, who has been leading after-school sessions twice a week with energy, encouragement, and excellence. Her dedication to her students is nothing short of inspiring — and we thank her for going above and beyond.</p><h3><strong>A Well-Deserved Trip</strong></h3><p>The Seville trip gave students the opportunity to practice their language skills in real-world settings, explore cultural landmarks, and experience Spain firsthand. For many, it was their first visit to the city — and it won’t be their last!</p><p>We’re incredibly proud of the students and grateful to Ms Lynette and the language department for supporting this journey. Watch the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1LzEvqgqKa/">short video in Seville</a> on our Facebook Page.</p><p><strong>¡Enhorabuena a todos!</strong> — We can’t wait to see what you achieve next!<br /><br />Author: <a href="https://www.aspireinternational.school/staff/kathryn-germain">Kathryn Germain</a></p>								</div>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This week a range of students from years 1 to 8 were allowed to go and watch an interactive performance created and performed by <a href="https://www.calliopetheatrecompany.pt/">Calliope Theatre Company</a>.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These performances are English-based, and students get to jump onto the stage and be a part of the show.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Year 7 and 8s were very engaged with the performance of A Midsummer Night&#8217;s Dream and loved interacting with the actors on stage. They had to fully understand the key parts of the play and how each of the characters felt towards each other. The texts were easy to follow and also combined Shakespearean with modern-day English language.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It was so funny and I couldn&#8217;t believe I was on stage playing a character without any practice</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8211; Ffion Batten, Year 7</p>
</blockquote>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Thank you to Calliope Theatre company for entertaining, educating and engaging these students with your performance.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">AIS students were very excited about the opportunity to go skiing with the school recently.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">From the moment of arrival, those left behind at school were sent countless photos of the students and teachers on the slopes and enjoying the snow.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">One student, Camille Laurent from year 11, had this to say about the trip:</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The AIS ski trip took place in&nbsp;<a href="https://sierranevada.es/en/">Sierra Nevada, Spain</a>. It was a wonderful location with amazing slopes. We were 20-30 children from years 9-11 accompanied by 3 teachers. It allowed GCSE PE students to do their exams in ski/ snowboarding. Non PE students enjoyed their lessons every day for 5 hours with expert instructors. The afternoons were chill time with 2/3 hours for relaxation and bonding between students and with pupils from other schools. It was a wonderful experience that allowed a lot of new experiences and memories.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8211; Camille Laurent</p>
</blockquote>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Once students had returned, they continued to express how the trip had given them an experience that they wouldn&#8217;t otherwise have been able to get. The teachers &#8211; Jane Cassells, David, and Grannia &#8211; expressed their pride in the students as they overcame challenges and represented the school in a truly outstanding light. Everyone came back with stories to tell and an abundance of memories to share.</p>
