International Schools Award 2006-2012


The DfES International School Award is an accreditation scheme for curriculum-based international work in schools. The ISA scheme offers a framework within which to form and develop international partnerships and achieve curriculum goals. It recognises and rewards the integration of global issues and awareness into the curriculum at a number of levels.
The ISA encourages and supports schools to develop the following:-

•    An international ethos embedded throughout the school;
•    A majority of pupils within the school impacted by and involved in international work;
•    Collaborative curriculum-based work with a number of partner schools;
•    Curriculum-based work across a range of subjects;
•    Year round international activity;
•    Involvement of the wider community;
•    Evaluation from a variety of sources allowing you to improve your activities and your international programme;
•    Provides ideas for developing collaborative curriculum-based international work with partner schools.

The International School Award scheme is supported and funded by the DfES. It provides recognition for teachers and their schools working to instill a global dimension into the learning experience of all children and young people.
