International School Award

Ready to apply online for the International School Award ? You’ll need some details about your school’s international activities and partner schools to complete it all now, but you can always return later to update the application or check it through before sending it.

Is this the first time you’ve used the Global Gateway? Then you will need to register your school for the ISA.

If you already have a password for the ISA or for the Global Gateway, please log in to start or update your school's application (you must be a UK school).

Your session will last for around 30 minutes from each time you save. Please save your work every 10-15 minutes to avoid losing the text you have input. For peace of mind when writing up international activities, we suggest you compose the text on a Word document and cut and paste it into the boxes.

If you would like to see what the online application process looks like, and even take it for a ‘test-run’, then click here.
