The English International College

At EIC, students do not need to be fluent in English before joining our school.

We welcome children from a wide range of linguistic backgrounds and provide strong support through our English as an Additional Language (EAL) programme, ensuring every student can access learning with confidence from day one.

Through daily immersion in a supportive and inclusive environment, students quickly develop their English skills while continuing to feel fully integrated in school life.
We believe language should never be a barrier to opportunity, only a bridge to it.

We are proud to introduce Mr Richard Sutcliffe, School Director at EIC.

With a strong commitment to academic excellence and student wellbeing, Mr Sutcliffe provides strategic leadership across the School, guiding its vision with clarity, purpose and a genuine passion for education. His leadership helps foster a supportive and aspirational environment in which students are encouraged to achieve their full potential and grow into confident, responsible young people.

At EIC, we are delighted to have Mr Sutcliffe leading our School community and helping to shape the future success of our students.

From our beginnings in 1982 to a philosophy centred on nurturing confident, independent and globally minded individuals, we are proud to support every student in reaching their full potential in a caring, ambitious environment.

Year 3 had enormous fun as part of their introduction to mummification in Ancient Egypt! Working in teams, the children wrapped each other in toilet roll “bandages”, quickly discovering that becoming a successful mummy was not as easy as it looked. They had to demonstrate teamwork, cooperation and problem-solving skills as they worked out the correct tension and angles for the paper rolls. Too tight and the paper ripped, too loose and it unravelled completely! Adjusting the direction of the bandages to cover different parts of the body proved especially challenging, but the children showed fantastic perseverance throughout. Of course, the best part came at the end, when everyone enjoyed dramatically bursting out of their bandages!

Today, Year 5 visited the Museo Casa Natal de Picasso. It is the original building where Pablo Picasso spent part of his childhood, and is now a Cultural Heritage site. The museum showcases aspects of his life through images, as well as some of his earliest drawings and paintings by both his father and Picasso himself.

We then went on to view the temporary exhibition Ni Musas Ni Modelos, which featured artwork by various female artists. It was a very cultural and artistic day out!
