Global Staff Exchange

To offer a curriculum that truly celebrates diversity, Downe recognises the importance of affording global professional development opportunities to its staff too.

Internationalisation enables schools to foster students’ learning through staff exchanges and interaction and sharing good practice. Developing educational co-operation and staff exchanges between partner schools is another strand of our Global Partnerships’ Programme. Each year, we send a staff member each to our partner schools whilst hosting their staff at Downe on a reciprocal basis. The aim is to share best practice and facilitate closer cooperation between schools to not only strengthen our teaching and learning styles but to keep it up-to-date and current educational developments around the globe.
