We believe that friendships and learning should reach far beyond our local community. We are proud to have built lasting relationships with schools and educational communities around the world.

Through international visits, welcoming visitors to our school, fundraising and shared learning experiences, our children have opportunities to discover different cultures, understand different perspectives and develop a sense of their place in the wider world.

These connections help our pupils grow into compassionate, curious and responsible global citizens. They also bring our school values of kindness, respect and collaboration to life, reminding us that even small actions can make a positive difference to others.

Our Sister School – Kushadevi Secondary School, Nepal

We are incredibly proud of our partnership with Kushadevi Secondary School in Nepal, through the Freedom to Learn Sister Schools Project.

Our Freedom to Learn Friendship Ambassadors play an important role in developing and celebrating this special relationship. Through fundraising events, awareness-raising activities and learning about life in Nepal, our pupils discover more about another community and how we can work together to make a positive difference.

Members of our school leadership team have also visited schools in Nepal, helping to strengthen our relationship and develop a deeper understanding of the opportunities and challenges faced by children in different parts of the world.

But our partnership is about much more than fundraising. It is about friendship, learning and understanding. It encourages our children to look beyond their own experiences, appreciate different cultures and recognise that, despite our differences, we share many hopes and aspirations.

Our partnership also brings our MOSPS CARE values – Courage, Aspire, Respect and Explore – to life, helping our pupils understand how they can contribute to a kinder, fairer and more connected world.

Here are just some of the highlights of our journey together.

Staff Visits to Nepal

Our Links with China

Alongside our partnership with our sister school in Nepal, MOSPS has developed valued relationships with schools in China. These connections have created wonderful opportunities for cultural exchange, shared learning and a greater understanding of different cultures and perspectives.

In 2019, our Headteacher, Miss Crawford, joined eight other Hampshire school leaders on a visit to Shenzhen, China. The visit provided an opportunity to meet local schools, share educational ideas and build relationships based on mutual respect and understanding.

Following the visit, we established partnerships with four schools – Shenzhen Luohu Cuibei Experimental Primary School, Shenzhen Luohu Foreign Languages Junior School, Shenzhen Bao’an BaoMin Primary School and Shenzhen Bao’an Xixiang Street Fenggang Primary School.

We were delighted to welcome pupils and teachers from China to MOSPS in both 2019 and 2023. During their visits, our guests experienced our We CARE Curriculum, taking part in activities including Forest School, Beach School and sport. They also shared their own culture, traditions and language with us.

Our pupils had the opportunity to learn Chinese calligraphy and some basic Mandarin, giving them a fascinating insight into another language and culture.

These visits have helped to build lasting friendships and given our children valuable opportunities to learn from one another. We are proud that our international partnerships continue to encourage curiosity, respect and a genuine interest in the wider world.
