About our Nursery

Comenius is a European project funded by the European Union, that enables schools across Europe to work together.  It has two main aims:

• To develop knowledge and understanding among young people and education staff of the diversity of European cultures and languages.
• To help young people to acquire basic life skills and competences for their personal development, for future employment and for active European citizenship.

We were successful in applying for a European grant to enable our school to take part in a partnership between eight other European schools throughout Europe.  Our partner schools are:

• Spain - Colegio Angel de la Guarda, Nigran
• Portugal - Agrupamento de Escolas, Povoa de Lanhoso
• Turkey - Muhittin Ustundag Ilkoogretim Okulu, Istanbul
• Italy - Scuola Primaria 'Mascarucci', Pesaro
• Hungary - Fodor Andras Atlalanos Iskola, Lengyeltoti
• Czech Republic - Zakladni Umelecka Skola, Vitkov
• Slovakia - Zakladna skola Michala Tareka Abraham, Abraham.
• Poland - Zespol Szkolno-Przedszkolny, Wroclaw
