Read our advice to help plan and find activities for the International School Award.

Find an activity plan

Search through and use our classroom resources which house a series of activities and lesson plans that can be used as part of the International School Award. All resources are designed to encourage international awareness and learning.

Activity guidance 

By repeating activities or introducing new activities each academic year, this will help to ensure most pupils will be involved in international learning activities as they progress through the school.

In terms of length, the most effective international activities are developed over the course of the school year, as they can be embedded effectively into your school’s curriculum and bring the aspect of sustainability into your international work.

Please refer to the Levels  pages to see activity guidance for Foundation, Intermediate, Accreditation and Reaccreditation  levels. 

Activity evaluation

As you work towards Accreditation/Reaccreditation levels, you will learn how to observe and evaluate your international work for its impact on learners and teachers.

Sample evaluation forms to record feedback from teachers, pupils, community are available to help you complete your Impact Evaluation.
