CEIP Rosa de Gálvez
Committed to the development of our pupils multiple intelligences, focusing on the linguistic one as a facilitator tool to reach the others.
In constant growth
In spite of being a very new school since it has been offering its services for almost 8 years, Rosa de Gálvez has gradually increased the number of enrolled pupils, teachers and families by reaching today the amount of 755 students and 42 teachers, and what is more, the 80% of them has a permanent job in the school. Related to families, more than 75% of them is quite involved in their children education and school life.
Though we are located in a socially depressed district (palma-palmilla), both the extraordinary growth of one of the areas belonging to this district and the greater influence on the schooling of the center (Virreina), have contributed to stablish the socio-cultural level of the center within a medium-high Andalusian level. This situation given by the high birth rate of this specific area, the family cultural level and above all, by the direct involvement of our faculty and by the good school-family relationship has positioned our center within the 10% of the best educational centers within the linguistic scope according to the external tests (ESCALA) carried out by the Junta de Andalucia every year.
The quality of its professors and research groups
Our center is seriously committed to the development of our pupils multiple intelligences, focusing on the linguistic one as a facilitator tool to reach the others. One of our main goals is to make competent people in the linguistic field as it is stated in our current legislation of both school stages. Furthermore, we consider that not only the teacher training but also the experiences shared by schoolchildren are fundamental in order to achieve their integral development, since we live in a era of changes where information and communication play an essential role:
- Creation of the bilingual, coexistence and school library departments with the participation of the whole teaching staff of our school, as well as the planning of tasks and weekly meetings so as to ensure a successful work.
