World Class
BBC World Class is an initiative bringing the benefits of international school linking to schools across the UK.
On this website we have created a central resource of our partner organisations which facilitate and support school linking.
The BBC does not link schools but works with our partner organisations to help interested schools find a link.
We organise themed events in which twinned schools can participate and we publish a monthly email newsletter which highlights the latest developments in international school linking.
Once a school has found a link then this website offers support and advice to help make the link a fruitful one.
