College's overseas outreach praised
SEAFORD Head Community College is celebrating after successfully achieving the Foundation Level of the DCSF International School Award.
The school is now looking forward to progressing to the Full International School Award in the near future.
The DCSF International School Award is an accreditation scheme for curriculum-based international work in schools.
The international dimension in education is an increasingly important part of agendas such as Every Child Matters and Community Cohesion in how it supports the cultural heritage of teachers and learners and positive learning across schools.
The ISA supports schools to develop:
• 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.
SHCC has established links in Ethiopia and China.
Students are encouraged to be part of these international links.
It is hoped, with the progression through the levels of the DCSF International School Award, that additional links to other countries, and wider student involvement in all aspects of international work will be made possible.
