International Food Event:
We enjoyed a fun and exciting day in July 2018, learning all about food from around the world. Many of our parents came in to teach the children about the food of the countries from which they come or have connections. In the afternoon we gathered in the hall to taste many different foods from many different countries. It was all delicious! Many thanks must go to our parents and families for providing such an international feast.

Re-accreditation of the International Award
We are delighted that as a result of all our creative, cross-curricular work bringing the International Dimension onto the curriculum, we have received re-accreditation as an International School. This status has been extended until 2015. As well as bringing internationalism onto the general curriculum we hold an annual International Week, an annual European Day, work alongside partner schools in Africa and Beeston, and bring in a variety of workshops on the International theme. Pupils therefore learn all about other cultures and countries, challenging stereotypes and fitting them to live in our multi-cultural society.
