British Council - International School Award
 

The British Council offers the International School Award (ISA) as an accreditation framework for schools to record and evaluate their international work and embed it into the curriculum and whole school ethos.

The ISA is free of charge to schools, and online accreditation is open to all schools in the UK. Every year around 1000 schools apply for the award and 95% of those schools gain the award, having been offered support and guidance throughout the year of application.

The accreditation lasts for three years.

“‘Their “International School Award”… has had a very positive impact on developing pupils’ awareness of the cultures of other countries, while still promoting an understanding of their own.’”
— ISA-accredited primary school - Ofsted Report
