Project Entries

Hello Everyone

You should all now have the application form and confirmation of acceptance.

My apologies for the confusion over the application form - this was due to some IT problems at my school.

Please make sure that you submit the form and confirmation to your local agency by February 19th. This is very important - Comenius does not accept late entries.

The successful projects will be announced on July 1st.

Meanwhile, we should assume that our project will be successful - and we should be planning to integrate the plan agreed at the preliminary meeting into our schemes of work for next year. Shaun, for example, will be holding a meeting at Varndean with the team of eight teachers who have volunteered to lead our project. In addition, we will be meeting with the PE department to look at introducing the seven new sports into our PE curriculum. I'm pleased to say that we have also been awarded £1,000 (Euro 1200) by our national government to help us to do this.

Elena - you will be pleased to know that amongst the 15% of our students who are from overseas, Romanians are the third biggest group!
