This means that HFSS will be able to apply for funding for future school partnership programmes with other countries in the EU.
Erasmus+ is the EU's programme to support education, training, youth and sport in Europe. The 2021-2027 programme places a strong focus on social inclusion, the green and digital transitions, and promoting young people’s participation in democratic life. It supports priorities and activities set out in the European Education Area, Digital Education Action Plan and the European Skills Agenda. This aligns strongly with the HFSS School Plan 'By 2026' and many of the school's teaching and learning aims. Accreditation shows that HFSS can organise high-quality mobility activities, and plans to organise them regularly. Thanks to Ms Lloyd for leading the HFSS team with this programme.

Dear Parent/Guardian
It would be greatly appreciated if you could take a few minutes to fill in the survey on the following link
Our school is taking part in the Yellow Flag Programme which is a practical programme that supports primary and secondary schools to become more inclusive of all cultures and ethnicities, celebrate diversity and challenge racism and discrimination. One of the steps involved is to carry out an intercultural review which this survey is part of and as such all feedback is both vital and very welcome. We look forward to engaging with you all on this very exciting and enlightening process.
Kind Regards, HFSS Yellow Flag Team.
