Olhão, Portugal

Our school cluster is integrated in a priority educational territory, due to the low socioeconomic background of most of its students (around 50%), their school results and early school leaving. The school cluster has students ranging from 3-15.
There are classes of PCA (Alternative Curriculum) and PIEF (Integrated Program for Education and Training) for those students who are at risk of leaving without completing their basic education.
We are a reference school cluster for students with multiple disabilities. In addition we have a large number of Romani pupils and pupils from different nationalities. It is our belief that by having the possibility to work with students from different origins and countries towards a common goal, it will not only increase the students' motivation and self-esteem but also give them a better understanding of the opportunities EU provides for qualified workers, in the hope they’ll realise school education/vocational training is always the best choice.
The school cluster has been involved in European funded projects since 2009/2010 – four Comenius school partnerships, six Comenius in-service training mobilities, six Erasmus Plus KA219 and two Erasmus Plus KA1.
The external evaluation team identified the participation in national and international projects as one of the strengths of our school cluster, with positive results in terms of interaction with the community.​
