Global Learning at MOSPS
What is Global Learning?
Global learning can be described as an approach to learning about international development through recognising the importance of linking people’s lives throughout the world. Global learning encourages critical examination of global issues and an awareness of the impact that individuals can have on them.
Incorporating a global element into teaching across the curriculum can help schools to develop a richer, more interesting curriculum, use real-world contexts to enthuse, inspire and engage pupils, support raising standards, deliver SMSC and respond positively to the current focus on British values, help pupils make sense of the world in which they live as well as to understand their role within a global society, and to develop an ethos encouraging empathy, fairness and respect.
MOSPS, is a school that has achieved the highest level of accreditation in the Christian Aid Global Neighbours scheme, which recognises our commitment to educating students about global poverty, injustice, and the Christian responsibility to act. This level of achievement proves that the school has a deeply embedded culture of global citizenship, evidenced by significant student leadership and participation in “courageous advocacy” to promote change.
Here are just some of the ways in which MOSPS pupils are global citizens…
