The International School Award is achieved by schools that show continued commitment to embedding international awareness within their school and developing a deeper understanding of languages, cultures and countries of the world.

To achieve this award, Stanhope Primary School has taken part in a ‘Spanish Day’ whereby we experienced and took part in some traditional Spanish dancing, explored Spanish culture and traditions and we also enjoyed the flavours of an authentic Spanish menu at lunch time. We have also made strong links with a school in Murcia, Spain where we have learnt first-hand about the local culture and their traditions and we are extremely excited to continue building upon our international relationship with our Spanish Friends and to take part in many more exciting challenges.

To continue working towards our ‘International School Award’ we will continue to build upon our knowledge, awareness and tolerance relating to countries within the wider world. Children at Stanhope Primary School will continue to grow in confidence with how they develop their foreign language skills and their use of the Spanish language.
