The following handbook has been designed by Miriam Williams, who previously taught MEP at Anglo European School, as a guide for all new schools joining the programme. Schools already delivering the programme may also wish to draw from this resource.
The booklet is designed to help with getting MEP set up and provides pointers on how to recruit a Year 7 cohort, as well as Schemes of Work for delivery.
