We are very pleased to announce that we have been awarded the British Council’s prestigious International School Award in recognition of our work to bring the world into the classroom.
The International School Award celebrates the achievements of schools that do exceptional work in international education. Fostering an international dimension in the curriculum is at the heart of the British Council’s work with schools, so that young people gain the cultural understanding and skills they need for life work in today’s world.
Ian Kell Erasmus Coordinator said: “Our success belongs to our students who have really engaged with their peers throughout the world, the tireless support of all colleagues both teaching and non teaching, the vision of the leadership team and the dedication of our Erasmus interns."
Sir Ciarán Devane, CEO of the British Council, said: ‘The school’s fantastic international work has rightfully earned it this prestigious award. The International School Award is a great chance for schools to demonstrate the important work they’re doing to bring the world into their classrooms. Embedding an international dimension in children’s education ensures that they are truly global citizens and helps prepare them for successful lives and careers in an increasingly global economy.’
Well done to Mr Kell and all other staff who have been involved in all our international projects, in particular, our Erasmus interns, Iman and Miriam.
