The ILG led application, aimed to provide partners with the opportunity to come together and work on enhancing practice across all schools in the consortium by working on addressing shared objectives across 3 main strategic key areas that aim to improve knowledge, understanding and skill to deal effectively with progress and transition in education at all levels (3-19): In particular, the following objectives were proposed: 1- Enhance teaching and learning by raising staff expertise and competences within a European context 2 - Enhance the teaching and learning through the use of new strategies to address progression and transition in learning 3 - Develop innovative approaches to teaching and learning 4 - Internationalisation of the curriculum through observation and evaluation of curriculum models in other countries 5 - Developing collaboration and cooperation to support teaching and learning in school 6 - Strengthen research and development 7 - Develop links with schools in Europe to broaden cultural understanding and plan for future partnership projects.
All-age schools combine at least two stages of a child’s education (typically primary and secondary) in one institution We aimed to explore and discover the ways in which all-age schools in other regions in order to contribute to enhanced student learning and improved student well-being. There is a growing momentum to develop All Age Schools across Wales, and the consortium schools are leading the way. In our consortium, however, we had little or no experience of good practice in countries where this concept has been embedded for many years. Through this project, they aimed to broaden our knowledge and experience.
