St. Mary’s invited to become an Expert centre for the Global Learning Programme

Duncan Baines
September 4, 2015

St. Mary’s Menston has been recognised for its international contribution



In June 2015, St. Mary’s was invited to become an Expert centre for the Global Learning Programme. 

This is a government funded programme encouraging students in Key Stages 2 and 3 to become more involved with international work. The government believes that every child growing up in the  UK should have the opportunity to learn about the world around them. The Global Learning Programme aims to help young people understand their role in an interdependent world, develop an awareness of sustainability and globalisation, enable teachers to move away from a charity to a partnership mentality and explore different models of development in the classroom.

St. Mary’s has a long history of a number of international initiatives including Bambisanani, World Challenge, the Comenius project linking European students together, Connecting Classrooms and, more recently, the Fairtrade Schools Award. 

As part of the Expert Centre status, St. Mary’s will deliver training to schools who sign up to the scheme and work with them to develop their international work. 

Mr Tunnecliff recently attended a conference in Coventry with other expert centres which helped with networking and sharing good practice. He presented a session on incorporating values into the school ethos, using our own 8 values as a starting board.

Mr Tunnecliff is eager to hear from any primary or secondary schools interested in joining the St. Mary’s network. More information can be found on the Global Learning Page on our website: 

http://www.stmarysmenston.org/glp

As well as receiving free training on international work, schools who choose to sign up will also receive £500 worth of CPD, tools and guidance to developt global learning in their school and a logo for their school website and letterheads.


““We are delighted to have been appointed as a lead school for the Global Learning Programme. This will enable St. Mary’s to build on considerable strengths that already exist, as well as working with other schools to develop their partnerships.””
— Mr Darren Beardsley, Headteacher

““St. Mary’s was invited to become an expert centre in recognition of their longstanding commitment to global learning. Global learning has been embedded into the whole school ethos, into the curriculum and is very apparent in the school
environment.””
— Charlotte Hunt, local GLP advisor

“
“The school is really excited to be embarking on this new initiative. It will help us to share our experience with others, as well as move closer towards our vision of becoming a world class Catholic school.””
— Mr Tunnecliff
