Antonio Machado

CEIP Antonio Machado is a public school in Jerez de la Frontera, in the province of Cádiz, that offers Early Childhood Education and Primary Education. Its educational project is based on three principles: effort, understood as the foundation of a rich, motivating, and demanding learning environment in which families are involved in the daily work of the students; comprehensive training, aimed at helping students acquire a sense of citizenship and become critical, free, and responsible, with a global view of the world and respect for different ways of thinking and cultures; and equity, with attention to diversity so that all students achieve quality education. The center emphasizes that these principles require a climate of coexistence in which the entire educational community participates.

Regarding facilities, it has separate buildings and playgrounds for Primary and Early Childhood, a computer room, and a library. Its offerings include the Opening Plan with morning classroom, cafeteria, and extracurricular activities, and the center is bilingual in English. Among its plans and projects are the STEAM School 4.0, the Equality Plan between men and women in education, the State Pact against Gender Violence, the Andalusian Network "School Peace Space", the Occupational Health and Safety Plan, the Practicum for Teacher Degree, a program for healthy habits and promotion of healthy lifestyles, the Aldea Program, the playground and open spaces program, Investigate and Discover, PARCEP, More Sports, and the green classroom projects. It also has a school garden, as part of the Meteo-Garden Project and the Huertoalegre Machado initiative, where vegetables such as lettuce, chard, potatoes, celery, onion, beans, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, and spinach are grown.

The center develops reading tutoring activities and celebrations such as Peace Day, with a solidarity race for Valentina. It also maintains a collaboration line with IES Álvar Núñez, which includes meetings between former students of the school who are now in Secondary and students from the Third Cycle, with the aim of improving the transition between both educational stages.

The center has started the school year with a new management team and a renewal of the staff.
