We are very proud to announce that Boroughmuir High School has been awarded the British Council’s International Schools Award at Intermediate level, moving on from the Foundation level we were awarded in 2015/6. This globally recognised accreditation encourages schools to develop international learning so that it is embedded within the curriculum.
The award has been given in recognition of our efforts to make international links in a variety of ways. The assessors had this to say: “Your school is clearly committed to embedding an international dimension to your curriculum, staff development and whole-school ethos, promoting citizenship across the school. This is strongly supported by your links with schools in different areas of Europe and the wider world, which provide excellent opportunities for not only exchange visits, but also curriculum-based collaborative project activities.”
These activities include exchange visits by the Modern Languages faculty, a Design and Engineering collaborative task with students from Paris, the S1 Micro-Tyco project to fund entrepreneurship in developing countries, and the RMPS ‘Send My Friend to School’ campaign.
It has been inspiring to see such engagement and enthusiasm from the pupils and this year we hope to develop this even further as we are now aiming to gain full accreditation.
