Alongside a focus on personal development and character education, our international and global outlook is also at the very heart of what we do and equally vital to our ethos; we want our girls to know that as human beings there is much more that unites us than divides us.

We think this work is vital to a world leading and world changing curriculum.
An old adage suggests that at a party we should seek out and speak to the people least like ourselves. Don’t make a beeline for the people who seem just like you; dress just like you; think just like you!

The people least like you are often the most interesting and our international outlook allows us to bring the outside world in – to beam children from around the world straight into the classroom; to meet different cultures, different races; to hear about life as a child elsewhere; to make new friends; to experience different points of view and to always be drawn back to the common traits that make us all human.
As the author R.J Palacio says: “we can't teach empathy, but we can inspire it".

The direct contact between our girls and their counterparts overseas gives them a personal insight into life elsewhere and brings aspects of our curriculum into a real world context.

Alongside a comprehensive array of international trips and visits we are also committed to working with schools from around the world inside the classroom.

Our work in this area this year, and our success, has only made us hungry to do even more. We have reflected upon and refocused our views that curriculum should not just interest and inspire the girls, not just reflect and respond and be relevant to the world we live in, but that we need to be much more ambitious; that the curriculum we teach should give our girls the knowledge, the skills, the drive, the courage and the values to change the world for the better; to realise that we are always ‘better together’.

UPDATED Intent, Implementation, Impact and 3yr plan.docxAll students can benefit from bringing life overseas directly into our classrooms through video conferencing technology and/or penpal exchanges and the like.
An international outlook is not offering lots of trips (though we do). It is a much more fundamental attempt to focus our curriculum on global issues and challenges, to provide opportunities for our girls to work with students overseas to better understand these challenges, (and each other) and to work collaboratively with teachers and educators overseas to share best practice.
