Welcome Message from the Principal

I am honoured to welcome you to Infant Junior School and Camp Education (IJS & CE) in the heart of our small and unique community, in the beautiful Falkland Islands.

As Principal, I am immensely proud to lead such a vibrant and dedicated school. Here we provide education for the children of the Falkland Islands and with over 300 pupils, both in Stanley and across rural areas of East and West Falkland. (Camp)

At IJS & CE, we have the highest expectations for all our children. We believe that every pupil should be inspired and supported to reach their full potential—academically, personally, and socially.

Our talented and committed staff team work tirelessly to provide engaging, high-quality learning experiences that nurture interests, confidence, and foster a lifelong love of learning.

Our school values of Respect, Resilience, and Curiosity lie at the heart of everything we do.

We encourage our pupils to treat others with kindness and consideration, to persevere when faced with challenges, and to approach the world with open-mindedness and a genuine desire to learn.

Our unique setting offers opportunities and meaningful experiences that make our school truly special. We feel privileged to live and learn in such an extraordinary part of the world, surrounded by stunning landscapes and remarkable wildlife that inspire and enrich our school community every day. Whether in Stanley or across Camp, our strong sense of community and shared values ensure that every child feels known, valued, and encouraged to do their best.

I look forward to working together with families, staff, and the wider community to continue building on our successes and providing the very best education for our children.

Shelley Short, Principal
