International Comenius Project
In 2008 the school was accepted into an International Comenius school project titled, “Healthy Mind, Healthy Body, Healthy Environment”. We have nine partner schools from nine different countries, theses are, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Portugal, Bulgaria, Spain, Italy, Turkey and Lithuania. The Pupils learn about different countries by e-mailing partner schools and sending DVD’s of projects and drama productions.
Over the last two years the Comenius European Grant has enabled staff and pupils to visit other countries and take part in multi-cultural activities.

In May 2010 our European friends came to Wolverhampton and visited Penn Hall School for a week. We visited The Black Country Museum, Warwick Castle, Stratford, Birmingham and London.
Penn Hall students have used different technologies to keep in touch with our partners, and have told them a great deal about Britain and our way of life.
This has been a very successful project which has involved the whole school and had an impact on both Teaching and Learning.
