As a school, we would like to enhance the knowledge of languages and culture of France so that this can be passed on to all staff members, students and parents, through workshops and excursions. We would like to enhance our already existing ‘Country of the Month’ programme with real-life experience. We feel that we will be able to pass on excitement of our experiences to the students, making it real for them. We would like to use the experience to embed languages and cultural awareness across our curriculum, helping us to plan with a more cross-curricular approach. We would like to give our participants the opportunity to enhance their leadership skills. We would like to use our link with a partner school to promote computing skills and communication between schools. We would like to plan residential trips for students in our school and complete Risk Assessments so that these can go ahead. We would also like to apply for International School Status. We feel that this opportunity will help us to do this so we hope you consider our application.
