Elements 5.3 Links with the wider community

  • The school recognises that it is locally based and globally placed.
  • This recognition figures prominently in decision-making.

This linking goes beyond the local context to the national, regional or global, enabling children to communicate, work and learn with people from a variety of contexts. This offers opportunities for children to be aware of the wider world and to explore what it means for their local environment and context. It prepares them for the broader journey into the family, community, world of work and democratic process.
