  • International School Award

    Published 16/09/24

    We are thrilled to announce that our school has received the prestigious International School Award from the British Council!  This recognition celebrates our successful partnership with Collège in Valenciennes, France, where our Year 7 pupils have been exchanging letters and discussing their local areas with their French counterparts. 

    This project has been a fantastic opportunity for our students to build cultural awareness, practice language skills, and foster international friendships.  We are incredibly proud of their hard work and enthusiasm throughout the project! 

    A huge thank you to all our staff, students, and our friends in Valenciennes for making this possible. Together, we are building a brighter, more connected future!
