Botanic Primary School is committed to international work and received the British Council International School Award in 2011, 2014, 2017 and most recently, 2021.

In recent years, we have work on collaborative exchanges with schools in Spain, Greece, England, Turkey, Poland, Italy and Nepal.

Our 'International Award' is distributed on an annual basis to the Primary 7 pupil who has made the most significant contribution towards our international work throughout their school life.   

We are also delighted to hold 'School of Sanctuary' status.  School of Sanctuary is a growing network of more than 300 primary and secondary schools all committed to supporting the thousands of young people seeking sanctuary in the UK, creating a culture of welcome and inclusion whilst raising awareness of the issues faced by refugees and asylum seekers, and all those who need a safe place.
