International Projects - Shincliffe CE Primary School

Shincliffe CE Primary School is proud of being an ‘International’ school and celebrates many different cultures through our globally enriched curriculum.
French is taught as part of the curriculum to all pupils and we have strong links with l’Ecole de Buironfosse in the north east of France.

All pupils are involved in our international work and global themes are embedded into our curriculum. We enjoy celebrating many festivals from around the world, such as Chinese New Year, Brazilian carnival, Harvest and Christmas.

We are enjoying finding out about Brazilian culture through our Connecting Classrooms project and we recently hosted four Brazilian teachers in school.
