Service

International Mindedness and developing global competence is an integral part of Explore curriculum. The learning goals support learners in developing an understanding of multiple perspectives; including gaining knowledge of global issues and the Sustainable Development Goals. 

Here at BSJ our aim is to make meaningful connections between our classroom learning, our local community and the wider world to support our children in developing empathy for individuals affected by a range of situations and inspire positive action. 

We aim for every child to participate in a topic-focused Service Learning Project during each academic year, encouraging the children to reflect on issues linked to their topic, related Sustainable Development Goals and developing an awareness of how we can all contribute to make a positive difference. Children may also be invited to contribute to projects in other year groups throughout the school. 

In the past projects have included a range of sponsored events, creating Health Packs to donate to children and raising funds for projects through a variety of fun activities.
