As Educators, we are continuously striving to improve practice and one of the most effective ways that we can do this is through collaboration with others in our profession. This October, we had seven teachers visit Greengates from the British School, Rio to observe the teaching and learning in the primary school. The visit came as a result of a recommendation from our accreditation body, the International Curriculum Association (ICA), who have recognised Greengates Primary as a school of best practice.
This provided an excellent opportunity for our teaching and leadership teams to engage in open and professional dialogue with the visiting educators. The feedback that we received was overwhelmingly positive, with the teachers eager to take back valuable ideas and strategies to their own school.
The collaboration not only benefitted our visitors but also allowed our staff to reflect on their own teaching, gaining new insights from fresh perspectives. This exchange of knowledge and practices continues to enrich the educational experience for our students and strengthens our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of education.
We are proud to be recognised by the ICA for our excellent implementation of the curriculum and to have the opportunity to collaborate with other educators from around the world.

At Greengates, we are committed to creating an environment where every child feels valued and respected. Our school is more than just a place of learning; it is a vibrant community of families, united by the belief that our diversity is a source of strength and something to be celebrated.
Last week, our Performing Arts teachers, Victor Lopez (Drama) and Hadiya Morris (Music and Drama), attended a regional Americas course in Panama focused on the Juilliard K-12 Curriculum.
