Blewbury School News October 2009

Blewbury School receives Fourth International School Award

At Blewbury School we encourage the children to develop a strong global awareness. This last academic year was time once again to renew our International School Award, this is the tenth year since this award started and we are one of the few schools in the country to have worked consistently to include the International. Dimension across our curriculum

At the beginning of the year we had to produce an action plan for the year and then collect evidence, including evaluations from pupils, parents, staff and visitors, to show what we had achieved. As we compiled this portfolio in July we proudly reflected on the year’s work – Our International Harvest festival, the Comenius visit to France for an Eco Meeting, the Angels Gum Boot Choir visit to school, the Didcot School’s Partnership International Day, our Ugandan Week following a visit to Uganda by seven teachers, World Water Day, International Sport’s Day at St. Birinus School and our final Comenius visit to Sweden.

All this and much more meant that we were awarded ‘The International School Award’ for the fourth time. At the award ceremony in London on 16th October there was an extra acclamation, Blewbury School is only 1 of 17 schools in the whole of the UK to have received this award four consecutive times.
