Staff time, teaching staff will meet from time to time to share good practice. We will often arrange reciprocal placements for trainees teachers or school experince visits. On two occasions we have jointly hosted overseas headteachers, one from Ghana the other from Lahore.

This primarily focusses on the primary age pupils of both schools but sometime older students benefit from the relationship. One of our sixth form students recently completed a long term work experience placement at the school and two year 9 students were recently involved in an author visit day.
