Schools from across County Durham have been recognised for their international work.
Twelve schools, including Dean Bank Primary and Nursery School in Ferryhill, have recently received the British Council’s International School Award, which recognises those that have embedded a global perspective into teaching and learning.
Representatives from the schools were presented with their awards from explorer and TV presenter Will Millard at a ceremony in Newcastle on Thursday, 19th October.
Cllr Olwyn Gunn, Cabinet member for children and young people, said: “We are delighted that so many of our schools have been recognised for their international work, which helps equip our young people with the skills needed to live and work in a global society.
“These schools have worked hard to bring the wider world into the classroom, with many of them developing partnerships with schools across the globe.”
