International Link
Embedding international learning into our classrooms is key to deepening pupils’ understanding and respect for the world around them.
School partnerships give pupils an insight into another way of life. By working together on joint projects, pupils can gain a greater appreciation of cultural diversity and global issues such as migration, sustainability and conflict.
By bringing international learning into our classrooms, our pupils will learn valuable lessons about sustainability, mutual respect and citizenship.
We have a strong partnership with a primary school in Sierra Leone called Vickrays Community Primary School. Our teachers have completed two successful visits to Freetown, sharing good practise and strengthening the partnership.
We have also had a visit from Mrs Doris Young, headteacher of Vicrays Primary, who spent time working with each class, answering children’s questions and sharing ideas with the Longhill teachers.
