It has a rigorous selection process for admittance. It is one of the secondary schools in Nicosia designated to be bi-communal, with both Greek and Turkish Cypriots being educated at the school.[1] HistoryThe school was founded in 1900 by an Anglican clergyman, Canon Frank Darvall Newham and since its inception the school has offered a British-style secondary level education. Originally it only accepted the children of the British rulers of the island and was located within the medieval walls of Nicosia. Over the years it accepted Cypriot pupils too and moved to its current premises in 1939. Although a boys school at first, girls were first allowed in 1957 into an affiliated school which was then incorporated as a co-educational school in 1962.[2] The school started off as a private venture but control was transferred to the British Governor in 1930. Following independence from British occupation in 1960, control passed to the Cypriot Government. In 2007, the school's status and eligibility for state grants was challenged at the Supreme Court.[3][4] It is a highly selective academic co-educational secondary school and most of its leavers attend universities in Great Britain.[5][6] Although previously a boarding school, it currently operates as a day school. Intercommunal historyIn 1958, EOKA distributed a text threatening Greek Cypriots that attended the school. This resulted in the parents removing students from the school and the number of Greek Cypriots attending fell from 317 to 21.[7] Following the Turkish invasion of Cyprus in 1974, Turkish Cypriot students withdrew from the school. From September 2003, however, the school returned to its bi-communal status by re-enrolling Turkish Cypriots.[8] In November 2006, Turkish Cypriot students were attacked at The English School by what was believed to be extremist members of "National Voice of Youth with a Greek Soul". This followed reports that a Greek Cypriot student had been spat at for wearing a cross.[9] The attackers were not other English School students. At the time, The US Department of State released the following statement: "In April 2007 court proceedings began for 13 suspects charged with attacking Turkish Cypriot students. On November 22, 2006, 15 to 20 Greek Cypriot teenagers, believed to be members of an ultranationalist group, National Voice of Youth with a Greek Soul, entered the English School in Nicosia and attacked a group of Turkish Cypriot students, causing minor injuries. Reports in the Greek Cypriot press about an earlier incident at the same school, which reported that an 11-year-old male Turkish Cypriot student verbally insulted a Greek Cypriot student wearing a Christian cross, were blamed for inciting the latter event. The Government condemned the November 22 attack as an aberration, not indicative of a broader atmosphere of discrimination or racial hatred against Turkish Cypriots."[10] Curriculum{{unreferenced|section|date=March 2017}}The school has the following 16 departments[11]:
A Religious Instruction department also exists, but classes are optional as they are available only to Greek-Orthodox, Armenian-Orthodox and Maronite-Catholic students. Religious Education is also available for students who do not wish to partake in Religious Instruction; lessons review a more general overview of various faiths and their histories. Grounds{{unreferenced|section|date=March 2017}}The school is situated in a semi-wooded parkland near the centre of the capital Nicosia and is one of the largest school campus in Cyprus. The school's extensive sport grounds include a large multi-purpose indoor sports centre, a full size football field, 4 futsal fields, running and athletics tracks, 3 tennis courts, a (lawn) hockey field/xorafi. It is currently in the process of construction on a new building(Newham building).The school has 5 buildings:The Lloys buliding,the main building,the Newham building, the science building and the sports centre.These buildings surround a large area with benches for the students. HousesThe school operates a house system like many other British public schools. Pupils are randomly placed in one of four houses. These houses are Wolseley, Newham, Beaconsfield and Kitchener. This system mainly nurtures sporting competitions among the houses, each house has associated colours.
AlumniThe school maintains an active alumni network, with a clubhouse found in the school's grounds.[12] Notable alumni include:
In 2010, a book was published to list the notable Turkish Cypriot alumni of the school.[14] References1. ^{{cite web|title=2014 Report on International Religious Freedom: Cyprus|url=https://www.state.gov/j/drl/rls/irf/2014/eur/238368.htm|publisher=US Department of State|accessdate=13 March 2016}} 2. ^https://www.englishschool.ac.cy/schools-history 3. ^{{cite news | first=Elias | last=Hazou | title=Promotion row throws English School status into question | date= 2007-07-21 | url =http://www.cyprus-mail.com/news/main.php?id=33727&archive=1 | work =Cyprus Mail | accessdate = 2008-03-28}}{{dead link|date=March 2017}} 4. ^{{cite news | title=Question time for the English School | date= 2002-07-18 | url =http://www.cyprus-mail.com/news/main_old.php?id=7120&archive=1 | work =Cyprus Mail | accessdate = 2008-03-28}}{{Dead link|date=October 2010|bot=H3llBot}} 5. ^2005 ES leavers destinations {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141025031649/http://www.englishschool.ac.cy/destinations2005.html |date=2014-10-25 }} 6. ^Cypriot schools celebrate top A-level results.
