The new Ofsted framework and Linking – global schools partnerships.
Linking – global schools partnerships have the potential to:
enrich the curriculum
develop pupils social and cultural awareness
contribute to the pupils personal achievement
make connections to the wider community
Schools can:
demonstrate the impact of these links through their self-evaluation consultations, and in this way celebrate the global partnership within the new Ofsted framework
use their partnership to demonstrate their provision for aspects of Every Child Matters, particularly enjoying achieving, making a positive contribution and achieving economic well-being
And celebrate the link by:
researching and evaluating the effect of global school partnerships, for example, surveys or discussions with pupils and their parents about the advantages of a global dimension in the curriculum
including the outcomes in the schools' self-evaluation form (SEF) to show the impact of these links and provide the evidence to support the assertions being made
