If you selected this page deliberately, I hope you will find something useful.

If you selected it by mistake, read on and you might find something that will change your thinking about what learners should learn and how they should learn it!


We have a responsibility to encourage learners to be global citizens as well as citizens of their locality and nation. They have a right to learn about their place in the world and consider how they can affect the future.

If we had been better at doing this in the past, maybe we would have less global misunderstanding /conflict and more agreement about how to face up to issues that affect us all like climate change!

For ten good reasons see the page “Going Global”. This also tells you how to get started and who can help.

If you enjoy finding out for yourself click below to use the Global Gateway set up by DCSF and the British Council:

Getting recognition for your global dimension work is important too. About half of the schools on the Island could easily achieve the International School Award Foundation or Intermediate status just by filling in a form on-line and that takes less than half-an-hour! Less than 7% of schools in IoW held the award in December 2007.

Over the next few months we shall be building up a number of case studies on-line to tell everyone about the excellent work undertaken by our staff in our schools here on the Island. We are hoping to establish links with all of the Islands that will be involved in the Island Games in 2011.

So watch this space .... but also get involved!
