We are pleased to announce that we are re-starting the DCSF’s Anglo-Russian schools programme for schools with links in Moscow city and the region. Regretfully, at the present time we are unable to extend this programme to other parts of Russia. However this situation is subject to review so please keep checking this page for updates.
The opportunities that we are currently able to offer to schools are detailed below. Please contact us if you have any queries.
The programme supports curriculum, professional development and sustainable school links with Russia. Our Anglo-Russian programme reflects the growing interest within the secondary education sector for the teaching of Russian and enhanced school-based partnerships with Russia.
Schools may apply for one or more of the following activities:
- School Linking Visits
- Joint Curriculum Projects
- Teacher Fellowships
- Language Assistants
For information on funding available to visit your partner institution please visit our separate pages for School Linking Visits.
We can provide grants to support schools undertaking Joint Curriculum Projects, Electronic Linking or Special Interest Projects (in subject areas such as arts, drama, geography, history, ICT, music or sport).
These projects can take different forms, for example, some may require the mobility of teaching staff, involve large numbers of students over an extended period, adopt a cross curricular approach or support the participation of a cluster of schools.
The maximum grant available is unlikely to exceed £5000. Please send us your application before October 31 2009 referring carefully to the application guidelines.
The application form and guidelines are available here to download:

The English school must also submit this additional Community Cohesion page:

If you are a teacher in England and interested in spending one to two weeks in a Russian school undertaking professional research projects or developing curriculum materials, then an Anglo-Russian Teacher Fellowship is for you.
Fully qualified language teachers and teachers of other subjects from primary and secondary schools, both maintained and independent, are welcome to apply. Applications from teachers in sixth form colleges or in FE colleges will also be considered.
A grant of up to £1000 can be awarded towards travel costs, accommodation, subsistence, and a contribution towards supply is available. Please note that as this is a professional visit; it is not possible for teachers to be accompanied by family members, friends or partners during the visit.
