Through the Turing Scheme, our school is proud to offer pupils the opportunity to broaden their horizons and take their learning beyond the classroom. These international visits allow children to experience new cultures, develop language and communication skills, and build friendships across borders. By working in partnership with schools around the world, we aim to inspire global citizenship, deepen cultural understanding, and give our pupils the confidence to see themselves as part of a connected, international community.

India - February 2024
In February 2024, a group of seven staff and sixteen Year 5 and 6 pupils travelled to Rajkot, India, as part of our Turing Scheme partnership. Working alongside Veena Soni, who leads on British Council projects, we built connections with two partner schools – Panchshil School in Rajkot and The Sunshine School, Cholita.
During the visit, our pupils gained first-hand experience of Indian school life, learning about the value placed on education by their peers and exploring the cultural similarities and differences between our communities. The trip was a truly enriching experience that deepened pupils’ understanding of global citizenship and the importance of education across different cultures.

Florida - April 2025
In a recent trip to the Center for Creative Education in West Palm Beach, Florida, ten Year 5 pupils focused on Global Goal 6 – Clean Water and Sanitation. Working alongside local students, they collaborated to create a public service announcement (PSA) highlighting the importance of protecting our oceans and keeping water sources free from pollution. The children visited a variety of sites, including a beach clean-up, a turtle rehabilitation centre, and The Hobe Sound Nature Center, gaining hands-on experience of environmental conservation and learning practical ways to make a difference. This inspiring trip strengthened pupils’ understanding of global citizenship and the impact they can have on their local and international communities.
