CEIP MAESTRO JUAN ALCAIDE
Maestro Juan Alcaide public school is located in the outskirt neighbourhood of Valdepeñas, in the province of Ciudad Real in the region of Castilla La Mancha.
We have 242 students ageing from 3 to 12. Valdepeñas is a city that lives from different sources such as agriculture, industry and service sector, but the main business is the wine industry. Apart from that Valdepeñas has places such as hospitals, shops, theatres that are shared with other nearby towns. This entire situation helps to create jobs and make Valdepeñas into a lively place.
Most of our students come from the surroundings of the school but more and more there are other students from other parts of the city or other cities that want to come to our school to join our bilingual project. The bilingual project is not only bringing to our students more opportunities to improve their linguistic abilities but also to have the opportunity to mix with other types of students.
On the other hand we get an increasing number of immigrants to our school every year, having 9% of our students being immigrants at the moment. We have 8 different nationalities apart from the 5% of an ethnic minority.
As for the students with learning disabilities, we have around the 13%. The school has been improving the resources lately to help these students thanks to different funding from our government. All these make possible to integrate better these students.
For all these aspects, we asked to have a bilingual project so we could teach our curriculum through English and Spanish. As a result of having this project, our school has improved their consideration among the families. Now our families are more involved in the education of their children and in school life.
