St John Bosco College in Battersea has been awarded foundation level of the British Council's prestigious International School Award in recognition of its work to bring the world into the classroom.

The International School Award celebrates the achievements of schools that do exceptional work in international education. Fostering an international dimension in the curriculum is at the heart of the British Council's work with schools, so that young people gain the cultural understanding and skills they need for life work in today's world.

St John Bosco College's international work includes strong links with partner Salesian schools across Europe. They recently took part in an international business project with schools from Italy, Malta and Spain under the European Union Erasmus+ programme.

Paul Dunne, Headteacher, said: "I'm delighted that our international work has been recognised in this way by the British Council. As a Salesian school we are proud to be part of a wider international network and this provides us with fantastic learning opportunities which our pupils can benefit from''.
