This renews our PASCH membership – a global network of schools with special ties to Germany. Launched in 2008 by Germany‘s Federal Foreign Office, it is a fantastic initiative to bring beacon schools for German together, offering their pupils and teachers unique opportunities to collaborate and to take part in exciting activities as well as allowing them to take their internationally acknowledged, gold-standard language exams at a very reduced rate. Almost 300 of our pupils have profited from this reduction over the past three years and gained qualifications which will make them stand out in university and job applications as well as facilitating studying and working in German-speaking countries.

As well as providing training opportunities for our teachers, our pupils have benefitted from generous scholarship programmes for languages courses in Germany each summer and football camps in Germany, as well as multiple fascinating workshops ranging from music to career events. They have also profited from a host of free materials such as the brilliant Wuschel books, a new learning resource for primary children, created by the Goethe Institut and illustrated by Alex Scheffler. The most recent initiatives include 2DE travelling to London to take part in the ‘Wuschel: An immersive exhibition for primary schools’, stimulating some of our youngest language learners in key stage 1, and a post card project with other schools which stretches across both our Primary and our Secondary School.

 A significant improvement project for our P1 playground has successfully reached completion, thanks to a vital £25,000 grant from Oxfordshire County Council’s community flood relief funding. This initiative was part of a wider council drive to empower local communities to tackle the increasing challenges of extreme weather and surface water flooding.

The project was made possible by combining this major grant with:

• Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS): Implementing nature-based solutions to manage water runoff effectively.
• Parent Donations: Generous contributions from our school community that helped bridge the funding gap and enhance the final result though the 2025 Capital Campaign.

Drainage Improvement

The combined grants and donations enables Europa to dig out the old soakaway, and replace it, install new drains and lay a new porous surface suitable for a playground.  It will go a long way to significantly reducing the mud and surface water which have plagued the school for decades.

The Future

We are looking forward to working with the PTA to further enhance this playground.

We have also applied for more grants to continue this vital work to improve the whole school’s drainage issues. 

2026 Capital Campaign

Our new campaign is focussed on continuing these vital playground improvements. We wish to upgrade the safety flooring under the play equipment in P1 and P3, install a rain garden and quiet garden to reduce the remaining mud and enhance the playground further. 

Please support this vital campaign
