Spotlight on a School: Svitlo School UK/Ukraine
In February 2022, the Russian invasion of Ukraine turned my world upside down. Although I moved to the UK in 2004, to study and become a primary school teacher, I was born in Zaporizhzhia, a Russian-speaking industrial city in southeastern Ukraine. When the invasion began, my first instinct was to rush back to Ukraine and help in any way I could.
Small school, big school trips
Al Ain British Academy is small by UAE standards, with 1,000 pupils, including just 300 in the secondary school. Just under 70 per cent of the population are Emirati, with a healthy minority of expats from a wide range of countries. Prior to the pandemic, the school, which was much smaller then, had not run any international visits. So one of my aims, on arriving at the school in 2021, was to harness the developmental power of school trips. The challenges of starting a trips programme were numerous.

30 minutes with...Selina Boyd, The Good Schools Guide
Selina Boyd knows what it feels like to be an international school parent. Uprooted from the UK in 2009 because of her husband’s job, she found herself plunged into life many thousands of miles from home, in Singapore.

How will school safeguarding change in 2025?
Safeguarding leads were unusually relaxed this summer, with only the most minor of updates required to their safeguarding policies due to the almost unchanged Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE) 2024. However, it is important that they, and all school leaders, bear in mind the call for evidence run by the Department for Education earlier this year to inform KCSIE 2025.
Spotlight on a School: New Summit Academy, Costa Rica
At first glance, New Summit Academy Costa Rica is like any other international boarding school. Students stroll across campus from the academic building after class and begin to occupy themselves with boarding life. A spontaneous basketball game takes shape on the outdoor court, a jam session kicks off in the music studio and a student council meets to discuss plans for a surf and scuba weekend. Elsewhere, members of the cooking club head into town to pick up ingredients for the evening snack.
Our fight to stop Australia’s largest new coal mine goes to court
Whitehaven Coal is proposing to open Australia’s largest new coal mine in the Bowen Basin, on the doorstep of the Great Barrier Reef, which is the midst of another mass bleaching event. If the Winchester South mine gets the green light, it will be digging up coal and polluting until 2055, generating at least 583 million tonnes of climate pollution – . In a world that knows it needs to get off climate wrecking gas and coal, this is dangerously out of step with reality.
