International School Award!

Edward the Elder has been awarded Intermediate level of the British Council’s prestigious International School Award in recognition of its work to bring the world into the classroom.

Our children have participated in a variety of activities throughout the last academic year such as: Edward the Elder’s Eurovision, European Day of Languages, Mother Tongue Languages Day and our school partnership with Braeburn Nanyuki in Kenya!

Our ISA assessor said: ‘We are proud and delighted to work with this great school. Many thanks to everyone for all their commitment to developing international work and sharing excellent classroom practice and resources. This is enriching education for its pupils, and their excellent collaborative projects with partner schools overseas are bringing the world into their classrooms. International work is key support for developing skills young people need to be globally aware citizens of the future’.

The Award is now available worldwide in countries such as Greece, India, and Nigeria. Over 6000 International School Awards have been presented to successful schools in the UK since the scheme began in 1999.

We are so proud of the work the children enthusiastically took part in to achieve this award!
