In the summer of 2025, we were reaccredited with this award for another 3 year period. The International School Award celebrates the achievements of schools that do exceptional work in international education. Scott McDonald, Chief Executive of the British Council, said: ‘The school has earned this prestigious award through its inspirational international work and links with schools abroad. The International School Award is a chance for schools to be recognised for their important work in bringing the world into their classrooms.'

Many aspects of our International Schools work link closely to our Rights Respecting School status and ethos too. Our international curriculum enriches learning across all year groups and subjects, fostering curiosity and empathy through real-life global connections. Children regularly engage in joint projects, language exchanges and collaborative activities with our partner schools, developing their communication, teamwork and digital skills while gaining a first-hand understanding of global citizenship and children’s rights. 

 Our International Schools work is coordinated by Jerome Lantelme, our French teacher within school. If you are interested in finding out more about this aspect of Middleton's curriculum, or would like to become involved in any way, please contact him on Jerome.lantelme@middleton.nottingham.sch.uk
