At the time of his visit, Sir Wilshaw made sure to spend time with the students, staff and administration of the Lyceum International Schools.

During his visits Sir Wilshaw observed Lyceum classrooms, spoke to students and teachers, and had discussions with the branch Management, sharing his expertise in the field.
Prior to departing from the country, he paid a special visit to the Lyceum Campus a few days ago, and had a meeting with the Lyceum community. He praised the incredible service Lyceum is rendering to the Sri Lankan community, and mentioned that the children were happy because of the good education they receive from the schools. Sir Wilshaw emphasized on how parents trust their child’s education with the institution and the sacrifices they make in order to ensure their child receives quality education from Lyceum, despite the current economic crisis in the country.
