The British School of Tenerife has been awarded funding from the European Union through the Erasmus+ program, which offers opportunities for schools and other educational organizations to engage in learning mobility activities across Europe.

We have collaborated with three UK schools on a project called “Who Do We Think We Are? A Language and Culture Heritage Project.” This initiative is the result of the combined efforts of three UK partner schools: Bromet Primary School (the project coordinator), Holywell Primary School, and ParkGate Primary School, all located in the Watford area.

In 2019, some of our teachers participated in training and good practice exchanges with these schools. They then visited us in Tenerife and conducted observations focusing on Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHEE). Additionally, students from these Watford schools visited Tenerife for a week, providing a rich cultural exchange experience.

In 2025, we were pleased to provide a Teacher Shadowing experience for educators from both the United Kingdom and the Czech Republic. This initiative encouraged the exchange of teaching methodologies, classroom practices, and intercultural perspectives, enriching the professional development of everyone involved. 

We have already begun the process with Erasmus+ this year to re‑establish a long‑term partnership that will offer valuable opportunities to all our pupils, now that the UK is once again included in the programme. This collaboration will also benefit students studying French or German as an additional language, further enhancing their linguistic and cultural learning. 

These international links will strengthen our curriculum, broaden cultural understanding, and provide meaningful experiences that support our students’ personal and academic growth.
