International Community

International learning is embedded across the school and our self evaluation and school improvement plan reflect this. The International Award Gold has been held since 2009 with visits to and from Sri Lanka in 2014, visits from two teachers from Greenfield School in Chile in 2016 and a visit to Amiens in France in 2019 to establish partnerships with schools in that region. We feel that we are encouraging our children to think globally and consider the lifestyles, experiences and feelings of other diverse individuals both at home and abroad, whilst developing their knowledge and understanding of international themes and the difficulties and achievements that children face in this country and abroad. In this way, we feel that we can develop the empathy and interest of our rurally, isolated children and encourage them to become true global citizens.
We have also completed projects with with a partner school in Vietnam and and a school in Northern India. We also correspond with a school in Russia and Julia Pavlova visited in 2018, stayed with our head teacher and taught Russian in school.
Languages
We currently learn French in school although we have previously had lessons in Spanish which matches the Year Seven choices in secondary school.
