Nord Anglia Education’s schools striving for innovative Social Impact Accolades

Nord Anglia Education, a leading international schools provider, has launched a Social Impact Distinction programme in collaboration with UNICEF UK. This initiative aims to recognize schools’ efforts in promoting equality, diversity, inclusion, and belonging (EDIB) within their communities.

Schools participating in the programme will work towards achieving bronze, silver, and gold accreditation levels, showcasing their commitment to embedding children’s rights and the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals into their educational practices. The Distinctions also aim to enhance existing EDIB and social impact activities while ensuring that the impact is accurately measured.

The programme involves the entire school community, including educators, students, and parents, in the process of creating a more inclusive and socially responsible environment. By focusing on serving others and promoting global citizenship, Nord Anglia’s schools are making a positive difference in their communities.

Frances Bestley, Director of Programmes at UNICEF UK, emphasized the importance of teaching children about their rights and creating a culture where their voices are heard. The Social Impact Distinctions are designed to empower students to believe in their ability to change the world for the better.

Schools like San Roberto International School, British International School Budapest, and Oakridge International School Gachibowli are actively working towards achieving gold distinction, fostering a culture of empathy, social awareness, and community engagement among their students. The programme challenges students to address real-world problems and develop innovative solutions, ultimately creating a better future for all.

Overall, the Social Impact Distinction programme is a testament to Nord Anglia Education’s commitment to shaping a generation of creative and resilient global citizens who are prepared for success in an ever-changing world.
