International Activities

At Outwood Primary Academy Bell Lane, we believe in fostering global citizens who are knowledgeable, compassionate, and engaged with the wider world. Outwood Primary Academy Bell Lane is the MFL Centre of Excellence for the Outwood family of schools. This leads to our academy undertaking international activities above the normal curriculum and also supporting other trust schools with their MFL teaching and curriculum offer. We have been awarded the immediate British Council International School Award and are working towards accreditation. 

Below are some of the projects and events which we have taken part in this year. 

International week of languages
In the week of 26th September, all pupils took part in a week long set of activities celebrating languages and cultures.  This included food tasting, international menu, learning how to greet people in a different language, researching different countries and cultures, a whole school dance set to an international song, an assembly and many other exciting and informative events!

As part of the week, every pupil in the school was taught how to ask for French breakfast in the target language.  We were very grateful to our wonderful PPA who funded and helped with this.  The pupils all did a fantastic job asking for the food and drink and being polite and respectful.
