British council International award
The International School Award is awarded to schools that have shown a commitment to embedding international awareness and understanding within their class or school and taken part in international activities across the curriculum, including collaborative work with international partner schools and opportunities to involve the wider community.
Our school was reaccredited with the British Council International School Award in 2022. We had previously been presented with this award which lasts for 3 years in 2019. The British council told us 'This is a fantastic achievement for both teachers and pupils at the school and we hope that you continue with your excellent work in bringing an international dimension to teaching and learning.'
To maintain our status as a leading international school, we are currently applying for reaccreditation this school year (2024-25), as our current Award will expire on 31 August 2025.
Watch this space to follow the range of exciting international activities we have planned for the rest of the year. Our newly elected language ambassadors will play a key part in this journey .
Through the British council International award pupils develop:
- an increased knowledge, awareness and tolerance about other countries, cultures and languages,
- confidence in communicating with people from different backgrounds,
- more skills to successfully live and work in a global and mobile society,
- literacy skills when writing stories and letters for specifics audiences
- students begin to develop confidence with their foreign language skills.
