International School Award
We are delighted to have been re-accredited with the International School Award from the British Council for the fourth time in succession. This time around, we partnered with a school in Lagos, Nigeria, and every child in the school took part in at least one activity. From the International School dropdown menu, you will be able to find information on the seven amazing projects we worked on and a page with some information about our partner school.

At Littlecoates we are committed to fostering global citizenship, which is demonstrated by our participation in the International School Award programme for the fourth successive time. International learning experiences are not just an addition to our curriculum; they are fundamental to our ethos, providing invaluable opportunities for our children to develop empathy, broaden their perspectives, and gain a deeper understanding of the interconnected world we live in. This award would be a wonderful testament to the dedication of our entire school community – our passionate staff, enthusiastic children, and supportive partners – all working collaboratively to prepare the next generation to thrive as engaged and responsible citizens in a truly globalised world.

Participating in the International School Award programme has enriched our entire school community in so many ways. We've broadened our knowledge beyond our town and country, inspiring both children and adults to become more aware of life and learning worldwide. Our school and community face many social, economic, and emotional challenges. To encourage all our stakeholders, especially our children, we need opportunities to be fully immersed and engaged with the world around us. The International School Award programme provides the means to do this in an interesting, interactive, and exciting manner. Our staff have fully embraced the demands of the programme, celebrating the chance to widen horizons and help everyone become citizens of the world. Littlecoates Primary Academy is fully committed to the British Council's ethos of becoming globally conscious, and we're grateful for the guidance and opportunities the ISA provides to help us achieve our vision.
