Fonthill Lodge wins International School Award

The international dimension in education is an increasingly important part of agendas such as Every Child Matters and Community Cohesion in how it supports the cultural heritage of teachers and learners and positive learning across schools. The award is recognition for teachers and their schools that instill a global dimension into the learning experience of all children and young people. ‘By 2020 the Government would like all schools to be models of good global citizenship, enriching their educational mission with activities that improve the lives of people living in other parts of the world.’

Fonthill Lodge School is one of only 700 schools in the UK to be awarded the prestigious ‘International School Award’ for ‘outstanding development of the international dimension in the curriculum’
