that are replicable and scalable to influence the quality of education

outcomes in the classroom.
4. Impact in the community beyond the classroom
that provide unique and distinguished models of excellence for the teaching
profession and others.
5. Helping children become global citizens

world where they will potentially live, work and socialise with people from
many different nationalities, cultures and religions.
6. Improving the teaching profession through
helping to raise the bar of teaching, sharing best practice, and helping
colleagues overcome any challenges they face in their school.
