Dear Parents,

In a remarkable display of dedication to educational excellence, the Acting Head of School, Mark Bridgeman, and the Head of Learning and Teaching, Priscila Perdomo, from Merchiston International School are attending the 2024 Cambridge Schools Conference in Cambridge, UK. This significant event brings together leading educators from around the world to share insights and innovative practices that shape the future of education.

The conference, renowned for its focus on transformative learning and teaching methodologies, provides a platform for our school leaders to engage with academic leaders, participate in workshops, and gain valuable knowledge to enhance our school's educational strategies. Their participation underscores our commitment to providing a world-class education that blends British educational traditions with global perspectives.

"We are thrilled to attend this year's conference," said our Acting Head of School. "It's an incredible opportunity to connect with fellow educators, explore cutting-edge educational practices, and bring back fresh ideas to our school community."

Our Head of Learning and Teaching echoed these sentiments, emphasizing the importance of staying at the forefront of educational innovation. "The insights we gain here will directly benefit our students, ensuring they receive an education that prepares them for the challenges and opportunities of the future."

As the Acting Executive Head of Merchiston International School, I am thrilled to share my experience at the Cambridge Schools Conference. This prestigious event is a testament to the importance of continuous professional development and lifelong learning—values we hold dear at Merchiston.

Even during the holiday season, our commitment to educational excellence remains unwavering. Attending this conference has been an enriching experience, offering insights into the latest educational strategies and practices that ensure our students receive the highest quality learning experiences. It is crucial for us as educators to stay updated with global educational trends, fostering an environment where both students and teachers can thrive.

At Merchiston, we place a strong emphasis on the holistic development of our students, particularly those in Key Stages 1-3. These formative years are critical in shaping our young learners' academic and personal growth. The knowledge and ideas gained from this conference will directly influence our curriculum and teaching methodologies, ensuring that our students benefit from innovative and effective educational practices.

Being part of a community that values lifelong learning extends beyond our students. It is essential for us as educators to model this commitment by continually seeking opportunities to grow and learn. Representing Merchiston at the Cambridge Schools Conference highlights our dedication to maintaining a dynamic and progressive learning environment.

As we look forward to the new academic year, I am excited to implement the strategies and insights gained from this conference. Our goal remains clear: to provide our students with exceptional learning experiences that inspire curiosity, creativity, and a passion for lifelong learning. Together, we will continue to nurture and empower the next generation of leaders and thinkers at Merchiston International School.
