International: Introduction
By including an International Dimension across the curriculum we aim to provide the opportunity for our pupils:
-
To acquire the relevant knowledge, understanding and experiences to live their lives in a global society
-
To broaden their experience of life by contact with people from a variety of backgrounds, countries, faiths and cultures
-
To address global issues concerning sustainability, the environment, development and international interdependence
-
To explore their own values and identities as individuals and as members of local, national and global communities and therefore have respect for the identities and values of others
-
To increase their self esteem, confidence and sense of achievement
The school has developed International links within Europe Comenius projects - and has now begun its third project -
Our European Cultural Heritage
with partners in Belgium, Gran Canaria Hungary, Poland, Romania Germany,Malta and Cyprus. The school has continued its link with Wilberforce Municipal Primary School, Freetown Sierra Leone and is beginning to devlop a link with Otto Sharnow School, Cayambe, Ecuador.
