San Gregorio school is placed in the north of Spain. Our town is called Aguilar de Campoo, its population is about 7.000 habitants, most of them work in the two important biscuits factories. The sourrounding area is really beautiful from the natural and enviromental point of view.

About the school, we have three sections: Infant, Primary and High school. In Primary school we are about 240 students and 16 teachers. Among our students we have some emigrants from different countries: Paraguay, Romania and China. We also have a Bilingual section, we teach Science and Arts & Crafts through English as well as we teach English languages lessons. Our educational philosophy is "to work with the last ones in our society", so we have some students with specific educacional need, and another ones also with specific social needs.

Our main aim to join in this project is to develop the European atmosphere in our pupils, families, teachers and in the local area. Also we also hope to develop the languages skills in our school community.

The school is located at a beautiful spot surrounded by forest and a lake, in the middle of a newly established living area. We emphasize cooperation between preschool age pupils and 1^st and 2^nd graders (6-8-year-olds). We also lay emphasis on the development of linguistic awareness of pupils, literature, interaction, and sustainable development. We have a 30-minute break every day when we encourage the pupils to move about as much as possible. Physical activity has been reported to enhance learning.
