I.E.S. “Playa San Juan” is a Public Secondary and High School (12-18 years old students) with 18 years experience. It is located in the urban residential area of the city of Alicante called Playa de San Juan, Valencian Region, and has approximately 900 students and 100 teachers, offering morning and afternoon shifts. We offer compulsory Secondary Education until 16, Baccalaureate/High School (from 16 to 18) in three specialties: Sciences/Technology, Humanities/Social Sciences, and Arts. We also offer Basic VET level (Initial Professional Qualification Programmes) and Programs to improve Learning and Performance (Curricular Diversification Programs for the inclusion of all the pupils that could need it). The school includes in its curriculum Significant and Non Significant Curricular Adaptations for students with Special Educational Needs. The increasing rate of scholastic failure in Spain, has also forced us to implement plans to recover not motivated and in risk of dropping/exclusion students to the formative process through individualized actions, guided to reinforce their motivation. According to recent reports, 19% of young people between 18 and 24 years old have stopped studying or even without finishing the stage of Compulsory Secondary. We are also an officially authorized school for the training of future teachers. On the other hand, as a part of the Multilingual Centres Network of the Valencian Region, subjects such as ICT/Computer Sciences, Arts and Crafts, Music and Media for some groups, are taught in English. The school takes also part in the Valencian Language Immersion Program and it is an authorized QTS centre. We also include French Language and since two years ago, we have included German Language, both as voluntary options. Our teachers are also highly engaged in searching and applying innovative and inclusive strategies to booster motivation and integral formation of our students, as well as to develop the necessary competences for them to become active and critical citizens in an ever changing world. The school has an annual private interchange of teachers and students. For all those projects, we maintain a fixed and open working team (8 teachers nowadays), under the management, collaboration and supervision of the school management staff who guarantees suitability, transparency, selection of participants, management of budgets. For the different projects we have the support of specialized teachers, and the School Guidance department, as all the staff in the school, thanks to the work done in previous years, is aware and has the firm conviction that these projects are part of the necessary measures to improve our educative offer. We can also affirm that families actively collaborate with us in all the developed projects, due to an important work of diffusion and communication with them.
