What is the Turing Scheme?

• A national UK government initiative (launched in 2021 to replace EU Erasmus+), designed to support international educational experiences for students and staff in primary, secondary, further, and higher education.
• Aims to broaden horizons, travel beyond Europe, foster cultural understanding, and boost global skills.

Seaham High School can proudly announce that we have been successful in two bids for the new Turing Scheme in the academic year 2025/26.  We will therefore be able to offer experiences to 60 students to go abroad to experience life in Prague and Berlin.  

Why it’s great for our students

The visits will provide life-changing experiences by boosting confidence, global awareness, and resilience.  There will be equity in access as the funding ensures every student can participate, regardless of background or need.  The experiences will provide our students with skills for the future by enhancing cultural competence, communication & language, and employability.

Students were asked to apply for places.  For the successful applicants this will be a life-changing opportunity:  the chance to travel internationally.  Students will also participate in workshops about the host countries culture, language, food, businesses and way of life before embarking on the visit.
