Developing an international ethos

Interview with Rachel Hawkes about international work
In this interview, Rachel talks about the development of an international ethos in the school since it was designated a language college.  She talks about how the school set up exchanges with other schools, linking not only the languages department, but also music and PE departments with partner schools abroad.  She describes how the work is developing with schools in a wider range of countries. Rachel describes the value of exchanges and the strategies which can be used to convince both students and parents of the importance of participating in exchange visits. She also describes how staff from other subject areas are involved in cross-curricular projects and how valuable this involvement can be for staff in other disciplines.
