Joint Curriculum Projects

Grants are available to schools to work for 2-3 terms on a collaborative project with a partner school in one of the following countries:

China

France

These are an excellent way to enhance the curriculum by bringing an international dimension into the classroom and giving pupils direct access to another culture and language. Projects can involve a number of areas of the curriculum and add value to what is already being taught in the classroom.

Schools have carried out successful projects on a wide range of themes, from healthy eating, sports leadership and the environment, through to art and drama. Projects must include an element of language learning and, in most cases, a visit to the target country.

Read a range of case studies of successful joint curriculum projects.
