BOHUNT EDUCATION TRUST HOSTS LARGEST EVER UK / CHINA HEADS VISIT

LAST TERM, BET WELCOMED HEADS OF SCHOOLS FROM PARTNER SCHOOLS IN CHENGDU, GUANGZHOU AND SHENZHEN, CHINA. 26 REPRESENTATIVES AND HEADS OF SCHOOLS VISITED BOHUNT SCHOOL

As our long-standing, warm relationship between the schools develops, Bohunt Education Trust welcomed the Heads to strengthen the ongoing cultural enrichment exchange programme. The heads of the Chinese Schools are education professionals based in primary and secondary schools. Their aim in coming to the UK was to see life in British schools through a practical introduction of tours, workshops and lectures.

A fully immersive trip, the Heads had the chance to sit in on lessons in all of the schools as well as having first-hand experience of the British system by learning from lectures at

Bohunt School, workshops on the practicalities of the system and meeting Heads of the UK schools.

The Chinese Heads spent time in practical STEM demonstrations with the children and discovered the latest iPad band with some of our Yr 8 students in Liphook.

On the second day, the delegates were treated to a working lunch and talks by both the Assistant Head Rebecca Clarke and TPS Principal, Mark Marande. As well as time spent in the Trust schools, delegates took cultural trips in and around the South of England including Oxford and London. They also sampled life in the UK with host families.

Director of Education for Bohunt Education Trust Phil Avery said,

“It has been a pleasure to welcome all 26 Heads and staff from our Chinese School partnership this year. This partnership has been developed to build links between the Chinese and British systems, building on our long-standing connection overseas, we hope that our strong relationship with these schools will enable a crossTrust alliance and champion greater collaboration with approaches to education.”
