North Halifax Grammar School celebrates receiving prestigious international school award

The award recognises the school’s commitment to international education and its work in developing confident, informed and responsible global citizens.

NHGS has developed strong partnerships with schools in Japan, India and Peru.

Students from partner schools in Japan and Peru have visited NHGS, while NHGS students have travelled to Japan and India, experiencing different cultures and education systems first-hand.

Students have also had the opportunity to visit China, further broadening their international experiences.

The school's students and students from our partner schools have also worked closely together on projects exploring the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, sharing ideas and learning from each other about what life is like for young people in their respective countries.

These projects have helped students develop a deeper understanding of different cultures, perspectives and global challenges.

Today, NHGS also welcomes students from across the EU and USA into its Sixth Form through the Educatius programme, adding an international dimension to everyday school life.

Looking ahead, NHGS is excited to be part of Erasmus+, following the UK's return to the programme, creating new opportunities for international partnerships, collaborative projects and student exchanges across Europe.

Miss Sharma, the school's International School Co-ordinator said: “We are delighted to receive the International School Award.

"Our international partnerships give students the opportunity to experience different cultures, build friendships and develop a truly global perspective.

"We look forward to building on this work through our visit to Peru and the new opportunities Erasmus+ will bring.”
