Why choose us

Our Principles

Our aim is to put control in your hands. You decide how and how much you want to cooperate. Joint working can take any form such as:

  • finding penpals for language students
  • sharing resources
  • working on common projects
  • arranging exchanges

Or anything else you and your partner school want to do together.

Simple

We know that teachers are busy people. That’s why we’ve made it as quick and easy as we can to create a profile.

Safe

We have built security into every stage of the process. We monitor the servers, the software and validate every user.

Fast

Our smart search allows you to find the right type of school or class for your students. Quickly.

Free

We know that budgets everywhere are tight. That’s why we’ve made it free to create a profile and connect with teachers.

How does it work​

Step 1: You register

You start by registering on the site with a few simple details about yourself and your school. 

Step 2: We check

Safety and security is built into what we do. So before we allow anyone onto the platform, we check everything is correct.

Step 3: You update your profile

Now you’ve got access to the platform you can update your profile and share a bit more information on your classes, your school and the types of projects and partner schools you are interested in. 

Step 4: You Match Your School

Use the search function or simply browse through the profiles online to find the right teachers, classes and projects to get involved with. The rest is up to you…

Penfriends & Fairy Tales

Pauline Stirling is a former teacher and e-twinning ambassador, with many years’ experience of connecting and working with teachers in schools abroad.    Her first links came about when she received a chance email from a headteacher in Germany.  She decided to reply and as a result of that contact, established an ongoing partnership between the two schools.  Later on she […]

   “Putting pupils in touch with kids in other countries makes an enormous difference.  It really brings language teaching alive.  At a basic level, it’s about communication.”

Who needs this?

When we first started planning for MatchMySchool, one of our first questions was – does anyone actually need or want a service like this? To find an answer, we sent out a short survey to teachers in the UK, France, Spain and Germany. As responses started to arrive, it soon became clear there is a real desire to build links […]

Safety & Security

We take the safety and security of all users on the platform very seriously. (This is why it takes a bit of time between initial registration and getting access to the platform).

To ensure your online safety:

  • We validate every user email 
  • We check back with their school too 
  • We never, ever share your personal data with any 3rd party
  • We comply fully with all GDPR requirements
  • We have a malware detection and early warning system on our site.
  • We run checks daily
  • The malware database is constantly updated, enabling us to detect even the latest threats
  • Our server hosts provide a team of dedicated security experts keeping track of daily software vulnerabilities on a server and website level
  • We run regular “pen tests” to check the security of the site

Don’t hesitate to get in touch if you need any further information on this.
