Yesterday afternoon I attended a ceremony at County Hall to present the DCSF (Department for Children, Schools and Families) International School Awards for 2007. 13 successful schools in Oxfordshire were recognised for their excellent work during 2006-7 working with schools in other countries. These awards are managed by the British Council and Oxfordshire has been proactive in supporting this scheme.
International partnerships have been forged with schools within Europe, Africa, Australia and New Zealand to name but a few and the experiences shared between the children has been remarkable. We are fortunate to have both Fitzwaryn School in Wantage and Faringdon Community College within our area who have won this prestigious award which just 24% of our schools in Oxfordshire have been accredited with. Well done to all those involved!
