Impact Teachers
During term breaks we run overseas teaching training programmes in Uganda and India. Upon returning, we establish links between classrooms in order to highlight the diversity of cultures and teaching, in the hope that everyone can become a global citizen. Our programs are incredible, free (besides the flight & Visa) and designed by our in-house travel and education specialists . We’ve been managing these programs for almost 10 years and have made visible, sustainable improvements in both our UK schools and those in India and Uganda.

Today everyone was up bright and early pumped and ready to go.

After a relatively smooth 8hr flight yesterday, and with no unexpected hold ups through customs, we managed to make it to the Wood Apple residency without hassle late last night. Our first official day here in India started this morning with breakfast around 9.30am. A few boiled eggs on toast set me up nicely for…
