I have completed a 20-year cycle at EITV as a founding partner, manager, and pedagogical director. It has been a privilege to serve this educational community with dedication, commitment, and profound respect for the role that each and every one of us plays in the education of our students.
I sincerely thank you for the collaboration, trust, and support I have always received from Parents and Guardians, Teachers and other Staff Members, which have been essential to building a strong school culture focused on academic success, safety, and the well-being of our students.
In September, we will begin a new academic year and a new chapter, welcoming Forfar Education, an educational organisation that values our history and recognises our potential to achieve even greater things.
In this context, I hereby inform you of the conclusion of my mandate as Head of Management and Pedagogical Direction at EITV.
With serenity, confidence, and a sense of mission accomplished, I am also pleased to announce the new school leadership structure, which will serve our community from the beginning of the upcoming school year:
- General Director / Representative of the Owner Entity (FORFAR): Kate Sommerville
- Pedagogical Director: Rui Santos
- National Curriculum Coordinator: Soraia Silva
- Cambridge Curriculum Coordinator: Nancy Oliveira
- Dual Diploma Coordinator, Cambridge Exams Officer and Erasmus Projects Coordinator: Filomena Martins
- Nursery Director and Pre-School Education Coordinator: Daniela Sousa
This new team brings together dedicated professionals whose experience and pedagogical vision will undoubtedly help to continue the work already undertaken, while driving forward new initiatives and innovative projects — always with a focus on teaching quality and the holistic development of our students.
I will continue to play a transversal, technical, and supportive role, designed to complement, and not interfere with, the authority and autonomy of the school’s leadership team.
I wish my successors every success in this new chapter and renew my sincere appreciation and gratitude.
To our students, teachers and other Staff, wish hard work, perseverance, determination, and every happiness in the pursuit of their dreams.
Yours sincerely,
.
