We are delighted to announce that City of London School for Girls has been awarded the British Council’s prestigious International School Award, in recognition of our work to bring the world into the classroom. The International School Award celebrates the exceptional work our school does in promoting international education, ensuring that young people gain the cultural understanding and skills they need for life in today’s world.
This award is a testament to City's belief in the importance of establishing an international ethos throughout the school, as well as in providing collaborative curriculum-based work with international partner schools. Our united approach to international work has ensured that we have fostered a connection with a wide network of international schools, providing us with year-round international activity and an involvement with the wider community.
Scott McDonald, Chief Executive of the British Council, said that ‘the school has earned this prestigious award through its inspirational international work and links with schools abroad. This is especially commendable when schools have been deeply affected by the global pandemic. The desire to build on their international work shines through and it is with utmost pride that we celebrate their achievements. By embedding an international dimension in children’s education, schools are preparing their students for successful lives in the UK or further afield, empowering them to be global citizens, and are creating vital opportunities in an increasingly global economy.'
