Global Projects
We believe that it's so important for our children to understand not just the physical, cultural and social diversity of our world, but also about the contrasts in lifestyles and lived experiences of people, especially children. In particular, we want children to understand the great priviledge, safety and opportunity that their place of birth has afforded them. We do this to encourage compassion, empathy and care for others and to show them that they can make a difference as leaders, decision makers and global citizens in their future.

Through whole school projects, we have learned with the children about different parts of the world and we have introduced them to the United Nations' International Rights of The Child and Global Development Goals and to helped them question the assumption that life and liberty, the way they know it, is a given for everyone on planet Earth.

We know (and we teach the children) that we cannot solve the problems of the world at The Dell, and make life fair for all. But we can make a very real difference to the lives of some. We also know that the leaders, and decision makers of tomorrow are in primary school today and that they will need a clear understanding of global development and sense of justice and compassion.

Some of our project work has been short term, others have seen longer timescales.
