Revision as of 08:44, 22 February 2011
The English Trust for European Education (ETEE) is a UK registered charitable organisation founded in 2008 to further the principles of European Education in England, as taught in the European School, Culham. Prof. Norman Davies, Lord Michael Jay, Baroness Quin, Lord Thomas of Swynnerton and Gerald Wilson, Chairman of the Scottish European Educational Trust SEET form the Board of Patrons of the ETEE. The English Trust for European Education is currently engaged in the transformation of the Culham School into a new type of European school. The Academy plan (English school)[1][2] has temporarily been put on hold, due to the withdrawal of the state appointed sponsor, CLASS. There is controversy, however, even within ETEE as to whether a state school would be appropriate, as stated by the Trust's Vice-Chairman in a recent article in the Abingdon Herald [3]
In addition to its work on the transformation of the Culham School, the English Trust for European Education organises an annual conference on multi-literacy and on supporting teachers engaged in language teaching. The "Schools for the Future of Europe"conference took place at Kellogg College, on June 4, 2010. The Trust has recently successfully campaigned against proposed cuts to the Foreign Language Assistants scheme [4].
