Our International School Award Certificate
Dear Head Teacher
BRITISH COUNCIL INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL AWARD – FOUNDATION CERTIFICATE
Congratulations to you and your pupils on gaining the International School Award Foundation Certificate: Introducing Internationalism. You have demonstrated an excellent start in promoting the international dimension across your school and highlighting the benefits of learning in a global context. Please send our special congratulations to the international coordinator at the school who has worked so hard to co-ordinate the school’s international activities.
Your commitment to extending and embedding internationalism in your curriculum is a valuable aspect of your school ethos; the British Council will be pleased to provide you with advice, help and information at each stage of your international activity. In addition to a partner-finding facility, British Council has many other resources to support international learning including: classroom resources and professional development opportunities.
We hope you will continue to develop your work in this enriching area and that you will consider aiming for the Intermediate level and eventually to International School Award Accreditation. The International School Award team is your first point of contact for any queries regarding your involvement in the International School Award scheme.
You can contact the team for advice or assistance by email: isa@britishcouncil.org. We wish you all the best with the further development of the international work of your school.
Yours sincerely,
Irina Gecheva | The ISA Team isa@britishcouncil.org

The British Council International School Award started in 1999 to recognise the schools leading the way in instilling and developing a global dimension into the learning experience of all children and young people. It is managed by the British Council.
The British Council is the UK’s international organisation for cultural relations and educational opportunities. We create international opportunities for the people of the UK and other countries and build trust between them worldwide.
We work in more than 100 countries and our 8,000 staff – including 2,000 teachers – work with thousands of professionals and policy makers and millions of young people every year by teaching English, sharing the arts and delivering education and society programmes.
We are a UK charity governed by Royal Charter. A core publicly-funded grant provides 20 per cent of our turnover which last year was £864 million. The rest of our revenues are earned from services which customers around the world pay for, such as English classes and taking UK examinations, and also through education and development contracts and from partnerships with public and private organisations. All our work is in pursuit of our charitable purpose and supports prosperity and security for the UK and globally.
