Global Partnerships
Here at Normanton All Saints Infant CE (A) School we have developed partnerships with other schools from around the world enabling our pupils to develop as global citizens.
We value the importance of providing a broad and balanced curriculum that is rich in first hand experiences. It is crucial that children from a young age learn to become tolerant and respectful towards others and understand about the similarities and differences within the world we live in.
We work closely alongside the British Council. We have gained the Accreditation for the International Schools Award and have achieved the Fair-Aware Award.
Miss Hargrave and Miss Gallagher are also accredited Global Teachers. They help deliver our global education and provide opportunities for our pupils to build links with other pupils from across the world.
Miss Hargrave also leads an after school global club for pupils who want to find out more about the world we live in.
