The accolade celebrates the achievements of schools that do exceptional work in international education.

St Anthony’s international work includes the Bridge to France programme, which gave both students and teachers the opportunity to engage with French citizens while introducing pupils to the French language and culture.

Through this programme children were able learn about some of the incredible engineering involved in creating some of the world’s leading landmarks in France, enhancing their skills in STEM.
