Programme
Name of Expert Centre:
Date:
The GLP is funded
by the UK government.
What is the Global Learning Programme?
The Global Learning Programme (GLP) is a ground-breaking
new programme which will create a national network of
like-minded schools, committed to equipping their students to
make a positive contribution to a globalised world.
The GLP helps teachers in Primary, Secondary and Special
schools to deliver effective teaching and learning about
development and global issues at Key Stages 2 and 3.
The GLP is funded
by the UK government.
Why take part?
• Schools participating in the GLP will experience the exciting impact
that knowledge and understanding of global learning can bring to
pupils’ learning across the curriculum.
• It helps pupils make sense of the world in which they live and to
understand their role within a global society. The GLP will also help
schools develop an ethos promoting tolerance, fairness and
respect.
• Teachers involved in the GLP will work with colleagues in local,
like-minded schools to drive forward global learning across the
curriculum, share best practice and engage in CPD opportunities.
The GLP is funded
by the UK government.
Why become a GLP Partner School?
Partner Schools:
• have an interest in global learning and wish to join the programme
as a means of engaging pupils
• have access to free online tools, resources and guidance, plus a
comprehensive programme of professional development to
enhance both knowledge of and engagement with global learning
in their school
• are given e-credits which can be redeemed against GLP-approved
courses run by third party providers
The GLP is funded
by the UK government.
Why become a Partner School (contd)?
Partner Schools:
• receive additional CPD via eight half-termly twilight sessions run
by the local GLP Expert Centre school
• appoint a GLP coordinator who works closely with their local
Expert Centre to explore how global learning and development
education can be integrated across their whole school. Together
they help colleagues integrate global learning across the
curriculum to give pupils a better knowledge and understanding of
international development and of their role in a globally
interdependent world.
The GLP is funded
by the UK government.
Some views from the field...
‘I feel very confident to take on the GLP
programme in my school because of all the
support available on the website and by the
advisors. It doesn’t feel like it will be a lot of extra
work as there is so much available to support us. It
is well planned and organised and therefore if
feels like it will be more sustainable and lasting.’
Susannah Bell, Great Marlow Secondary School.
GLP Partner school
‘There are so many different
initiatives to inspire students, like
the Rights Respecting Schools
Award, Eco-schools and the
International School Award; the
GLP brings them together under
one umbrella and has the potential
to increase the impact of all of
them.’
Paul Godfrey Regent High School,
Camden (GLP partner school)
‘I am so pleased to have joined the GLP
as a Partner School - my head is bursting
with ideas as to how I can use global
learning as a focus to drive school
improvement.’
Lynne McMulkin, Headteacher, Denbigh Primary
School, Luton
‘Our aim is to help schools develop
Global Learning programmes that
are practical, sustainable,
achievable and enjoyable.’

What is the GLP’s understanding
of global learning?
An approach to learning about international development
through recognising the importance of linking people’s lives
throughout the world. It encourages critical examination of
global issues and an awareness of the impact that
individuals can have on them.
The GLP is funded
by the UK government.
Aims of the GLP
The six aims of the GLP are to:
• help young people to understand their role in a globally
interdependent world and to explore strategies by which they can
make it more just and sustainable
• familiarise pupils with the concepts of interdependence,
development, globalisation and sustainability
• enable teachers to move pupils from a charity mentality to a social
justice mentality
The GLP is funded
by the UK government.
Aims of the GLP (contd)
• stimulate critical thinking about global issues, both at whole school
and pupil level
• help schools promote greater awareness of poverty and
sustainability
• enable schools to explore alternative models of development and
sustainability in the classroom.
The GLP is funded
by the UK government.
The GLP and development education
Under the Global Learning Programme, the key themes of
development education will be:
• knowledge of developing countries, their economies, histories and
human geography
• knowledge of the basic elements of globalisation
• knowledge of different ways to achieve global poverty reduction
and the arguments around the merits of these different
approaches.
The GLP is funded
by the UK government.
Whole school ethos
A global learning
school has a vision to
develop global
learning pupil
outcomes across the
school. This vision is
embedded through a
planned process,
involving staff, pupils,
governors and the
wider community in
global activities.
The GLP is funded
by the UK government.
Target curriculum areas
• English, history, geography, maths and science
• Also citizenship and RE
• Working with subject associations to produce a knowledge
framework for target areas
• Knowledge framework will link to KS2 and KS3 statutory curriculum
and beyond to help teachers embed global learning in their
teaching and learning
The GLP is funded
by the UK government.
Global knowledge, skills
and values
Global learning approaches
ask pupils to actively engage
with global knowledge
through activities which help
them develop their global
skills and consider their
global values
The GLP is funded
by the UK government.
Ofsted have started to notice GLP …
‘At our recent Ofsted, the inspector
asked us about our global learning
provision and subsequently reported that
we needed to do more to bring global
learning into our school. The Global
Learning Programme has given us the
perfect opportunity to address this and
we are looking forward to building global
learning into our new curriculum for
2014/15.’
‘Activities such as Forest Schools
and the school’s status as a ‘Global
Expert Centre’ and involvement in
the Comenius Project and Afri-Twin
ensure that pupils are provided with
a wide range of experiences which
enhance their learning.’
