About the school…

The international story so far… Comenius project (2010 – 2012) ‘Together Green’ Comenius project (2012 – 2014) ‘Jump into our healthy world’

The countries involved

Opportunities for pupils and staff to meet and work with REAL people from different schools and countries. Increased awareness of own and other cultures, language, traditions and practices. Travel – exciting experiences & increased confidence for pupils and families. Bringing the wider world into the classrooms. Some of the benefits
