At the English International School – Baghdad (EISB), we firmly believe in the importance of recognising student progress and achievement, whether academically or socially. We celebrate the efforts, dedication, and excellence of our students in a variety of ways throughout the school year. Here are some of the key awards and recognition programmes at EISB:

Student of the Week Awards
Every week, we hold weekly assemblies where the Heads of School present the Student of the Week Awards. These awards are based on teacher nominations and recognise students who have made exceptional progress, demonstrated outstanding effort, or shown positive contributions to the school community. It’s a wonderful opportunity to celebrate both academic and social achievements and inspire all students to strive for their best.

COBIS Student Achievement Awards
The COBIS Student Achievement Awards are issued annually by the Council of British International Schools (COBIS) to recognise exceptional student achievement in a vast array of areas. These awards celebrate students who have demonstrated outstanding accomplishments in academic, extracurricular, and community engagement activities. Our Senior Leadership Team (SLT) nominates students who stand out in these areas. For more information on the various categories and how the awards are presented, please visit the COBIS website: COBIS Student Achievement Awards.

Pearson Outstanding Learner Awards
Each year, Pearson recognises the Outstanding Learners in the iPLS, iGCSE, International AS, and International A-Level examinations. Students who achieve the highest grades in the country, region, or world are presented with these prestigious awards by the exam board. This is a tremendous honour and a testament to the hard work and academic excellence of our students.

Pearson High Achiever Awards
The Pearson High Achiever Awards are issued to students who achieve outstanding results in their exams. These awards are given to students who meet the following criteria:

  • G5 Achievement: 3 grades of P1.

At EISB, we are committed to celebrating the achievements of all our students and motivating them to continue striving for greatness. Recognition is not just about awards, but about the values of hard work, perseverance, and personal growth that our students embody every day. We are proud of their accomplishments and look forward to celebrating even more successes in the future.
