The Link Schools Programme is our initiative to link schools from Ethiopia, Ghana, Malawi, South Africa and Uganda with counterparts in England, Ireland, Northern Ireland, Scotland, USA and Wales. School partnerships will:

  • Bring a global dimension to the curriculum
  • Enhance the ethos and life of your school
  • Make a difference locally and globally
  • Create connections and build relationships between real people
  • Support your charitable and educational projects and aims
  • Broaden your teachers’ professional development opportunities
