Lockerbie College Barbados, is a school with heart. In the course of my work I am privileged to visit many schools in many countries, each with its own particular context, challenges and character. However, Lockerbie College is the only school I have visited that had me holding a chicken for a photo shortly after arriving.

I walked around the school with Julia Hanschell telling me the stories of all the children we met. She knows each student personally. I watched an amazing A level Geography class with a multi-media approach where the teacher effortlessly switched media in response to the needs of the lesson. Students were challenged with questions that made them think deeply and relate prior knowledge. I know that the Geography degree I took in the UK was never at such a high standard.

Everywhere I saw students and staff involved in a learning journey together. All engaged with the work in hand. The Cambridge Pathway is taught in a shared curriculum with the national system. And students are given an impressive array of other options for study depending on their individual needs. I am proud that Cambridge International has provided a framework and flexibility to ensure the highest international standards and allow Lockerbie College to express its own unique character.
