Official accreditation as a European Parliament Ambassador School for the fifth consecutive year.
- Posted 07 Sept 2025
The European Parliament has produced its end-of-year report for the European Parliament Ambassador School Programme at USP College, granting the college official accreditation as a European Parliament Ambassador School for the fifth year in a row, praising the "truly commendable" and "remarkable" work of the college's European Parliament Ambassadors!
The European Parliament, through the European Parliament Liasson Office (embassy) in London, has produced an end-of-year report into all the schools, sixth forms and colleges that participated in the EPAS Programme over the 2024-2026 academic year.
The European Parliament reviewed all of USP College's activities over the academic year to determine if it should keep its official accredited status as an official European Parliament Ambassador School.
This remarkable achievement is a testament to the dedication and hard work of your whole team, but especially your Junior Ambassadors. Your commitment to fostering a deeper understanding of European values and democratic principles within your college community is truly commendable. As in previous years, your social media presence has been great.
The European Parliament also took notice of our physical activities and projects, including our extensive celebrations for Europe Day in May 2025 and our visit to the Imperial War Museum in April 2025, which it described as "enriching [students'] educational experience" and proving our "ability to bring the entire college together in a meaningful way". Particular praise was placed on our Q&A with former European Parliament Junior Ambassador and Green Party election candidate Ri Goodyear, which the European Parliament described as having "provided students with valuable insights into political careers and democratic engagement".
This programme truly gave me so many opportunities that someone like me would typically never get to have… I’ve gone overseas, met legislators, forged lifelong friendships and built a lasting network of connections.
The college’s EPAS programme has delivered a wide range of impactful activities, including Europe Day celebrations reaching over 400 people, a Q&A with Green Party candidate Ri Goodyear, and international trips to Brussels and Ypres. These experiences have enriched students’ education and built a strong sense of community.
USP College continues to empower students through inclusive, forward-thinking programmes that prepare them for global citizenship and future success.
