Plamers Cross is proud to have achieved continuous accreditation
of the ISA since 2010 and have established strong links with schools in France
and Texas, completing cultural activities and projects with these schools
throughout each year. These activities have strengthened and supported both
staff and children’s understanding of different places and cultures, giving
learning a real-life purpose and relevance. We have also had links with schools in
Germany and other countries, completing a range of joint projects over the
years. Learning languages has a central place within our diverse curriculum and
our children learn French right from Reception until Year 6. We also celebrate
the other languages spoken by our families and students. Our thematic
curriculum ensures that a diverse range of cultures and countries are
experienced and that a multicultural approach to learning is an integral part of
our wider curriculum.
To complete our application for the award last year, we worked together with
partner schools listed below on seven activities:
1. Multicultural learning- a thematic approach to the curriculum
2. Reading around the world
3. Multicultural book week
4. International heritage project
5. Christmas around the world
6. Celebrating world music
7. Commonwealth Games
