an increased knowledge, awareness and tolerance about other countries, cultures and languages.

confidence in communicating with people from different backgrounds.

more skills to successfully live and work in a global and mobile society.

literacy skills when writing stories and letters for specifics audiences.

​students begin to develop confidence with their foreign language skills.

The International School Award celebrates our school's efforts to include international work as part of our curriculum and helps to embed it within our school's culture.
The programme supports us to foster an international ethos throughout the school and to embed it within our curriculum.

The International School Award rewards schools that have shown a commitment to embedding international awareness and understanding within their school. 

We have completed a range of collaborative, curriculum-based work with a number of international partner schools to increase our involvement of the wider community.

As we continue our International School Award journey, we will learn new ways to develop and embed international education in our school.

Our International Greeting:

We are greeting each other in German

To say hello, we will be saying: Guten Morgen and Guten Tag

International Award

On the 18th November 2021, Silsoe Lower School were invited to the British Council's International Schools Award Ceremony. We attended virtually and we were able to celebrate with all the other schools who have been accredited with the award.  The evening was a fantastic opportunity to be reminded of how important our international schools work is to the children of the school, and the impact it has on our children's learning and understanding of the world.
