International School Status
Upton welcomes French exchange students
The British Council International School Award is an accreditation scheme for international curriculum work open to all nursery, primary and secondary schools in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The scheme recognises good practice in international dimension in schools.
Successful schools are accredited for three years. The accreditation process has an action planning stage, followed by compilation of a dossier of evidence.
We frequently have visitors from other parts of the world and are delighted to offer them a Wirral Welcome!
