  • WNAT Students Celebrate Successes with Own Festival

    Published 11/09/25

    Students from a WNAT school celebrated the end of the year in style when they enjoyed their very own festival.

    Open to all Year 8 students at Springwood High School who had successfully completed the Endeavour Programme over the past academic year, 'Springfest' featured a wide range of entertainments, activities, and refreshments, from bouncy castles to barbecues.

    Not only did the students attend the all-day festival, but they also helped to organise and fund it, raising money through a series of fundraising initiatives, which included cake sales, penalty shoot-outs, sports matches, and other sponsored events.

    The Endeavour scheme comprises nine different challenges, and is designed to help young people to develop independent thinking and a balanced outlook. Participants are encouraged to expand their comfort zones, taking part in ventures such as feature-writing, performance reviewing, representing their school house, and leading an assembly – as well as organising a fundraising event.

    Springfest provides the perfect way for students to celebrate their Endeavour achievements, and has become a popular annual event at Springwood in King’s Lynn.

  • Stars Shine at WNAT School Prize Giving

    Published 11/09/25

    Staff and students at a WNAT school came together to celebrate the year’s successes at a special Prize Giving evening.

    One-hundred-and-fifty students from Years 7, 8, and 9 at Smithdon High School in Hunstanton were joined by Senior Leadership, staff, friends, and family for the annual Key Stage 3 event, which saw the presentation of 250 prizes, including badges, certificates, plaques, and gift vouchers.

    “Alongside awards for PE and subjects, there were rewards for meeting our ‘Smithdon Seven’,” said Mike Johnson, who is Assistant Head Pastoral Care at the school.

    “The Smithdon Seven are the words we expect all our students to exemplify – ‘Self-Belief’, ‘Ambition’, ‘Responsibility’, ‘Community’, ‘Prepared’, ‘Respect’, and ‘Pride’.

    “There was a badge and a certificate for each of the seven, for each of Years 7, 8, and 9.”

    Three students were also honoured with ‘Smithdon Stars’, with Daisy in Year 7, Eloise in Year 8, and Jessica in Year 9, each receiving a badge and certificate from Headteacher Amanda Gibbins.

    Another high achiever was Brayden May, who was announced as winner of the school’s annual 500-word short story competition, and presented with the prize of a tablet. It was a particularly impressive achievement for the Year 9 student, as he had recently placed first in Cambridge University’s prestigious Cambridge Writers essay-writing competition.

    “At Smithdon, we recognise the importance of rewarding all the great work of our amazing students and their excellent attitude towards their work and each other,” added Mr Johnson.

    Besides Mrs Gibbins, staff involved in the presentation ceremony included Assistant Heads Alysha Moat and Dan Ward, and Deputy Head Sarah Robinson.

    “The Key Stage 3 Prize Giving Evening is the culmination of the year’s student rewards programme,” added Mrs Gibbins.

    “With a culture focused on positivity, rewards underpin everything we do – from the hourly-issued rewards points, R3 postcards, and daily recognition at Spotlight each morning, to the weekly Chocolate Friday, regular R4 Headteacher’s Recognition Letters, and termly rewards breakfasts and celebrations.”

    The school’s Year 11 students will be next to have their achievements honoured, with a November Prize Giving scheduled to celebrate their exam successes.

  • WNAT Talent in Focus

    Published 11/09/25
    Young photographers from across the West Norfolk Academies Trust showed off their skills behind the lens in our annual competition.
    Run by the Trust in association with the King’s Lynn & District Camera Club, the WNAT Photography Competition was renamed this year as the David Ashfield Photography Cup, in honour of a KLDCC member who had recently died.
     
    “The competition started in 2024 as a collaboration between the WNAT and the KLDCC, who use the Springwood High School for their weekly Monday meetings,” explained KLDCC Chair Brian Sadler, who organised the event with the Trust’s Emma Pearman.
     
    “That was a great success, so we decided to build upon that and make the competition a regular event to encourage youngsters into photography.

    “The late David Ashfield was a pivotal and influential member of the KLDCC, so we decided to honour his memory by naming the competition after him.”

    Competition categories comprised Key Stage 2, Key Stage 3, Key Stage 4, and Key Stage 5, plus one for WNAT staff, and almost 150 entries were received from Years 3 to 13 across our member schools.

    Those participating included Marshland High School in West Walton, St Clement’s High School in Terrington St Clement, Smithdon High School in Hunstanton, and host Springwood High School in King’s Lynn, as well as primaries Clenchwarton, Gaywood, Heacham Junior, Snettisham, Walpole Cross Keys, and West Lynn.

    WNAT undertook the first round of judging, shortlisting ten images from each of the five categories to go through to the final at Springwood, where experienced circuit judge and honorary KLDCC member Allan Livingstone had the task of selecting the winners.

    The first place category prizes went to Ava F for Key Stage 5; Thomas S for Key Stage 4; Scarlett C for Key Stage 3; and Sydney C for Key Stage 2; while L Sedgley won the Staff Award.

    Our Executive Headteacher, Andy Johnson, was on hand to present the prizes, with each category winner receiving an Amazon voucher, and all finalists receiving mounted prints of their entries.

    An additional award went to overall winner Ava, who was presented with the David Ashfield Cup by the late Mr Ashfield’s daughters, Jill Smithson and Sally Ashfield  – a former Deputy Headteacher at Springwood.

    “This competition has become an important part of our Trust calendar,” added Mr Johnson. “All entrants enjoy this extra-curricular pursuit.

    “It is also important that our Trust is part of the local community. We enjoy working with our partners in the KLDCC, alongside other community partners.”    -

  • ‘Something for Everyone’ at WNAT Community Music Festival

    Published 11/09/25

    Lynn music lovers enjoyed four nights of diverse entertainment when Springwood High School hosted this year’s West Norfolk Academies Trust Community Music Festival.

    The popular annual event was taking place for the fourth time, and saw performers from our Trust’s 11 member schools take to the professional, outdoor stage, alongside a host of other music groups from across the region.

    “Suffice to say we had a real mix of younger WNAT ensembles, alongside more experienced ensembles and professional musicians,” said Robin Norman, Director of Music at WNAT and organiser of the event. “There was a real mix of different styles and ages, with performers from all schools across the WNAT family, along with other community ensembles.

    “There was, without doubt, something for everyone, with a wonderful range of instrumental and vocal ensembles.”

    Besides Springwood, the participating Trust high schools comprised Marshland in West Walton, St Clement’s in Terrington St Clement, and Smithdon in Hunstanton, while member primaries taking part included Clenchwarton, Gaywood, Heacham Infant, Heacham Junior, Snettisham, Walpole Cross Keys, and West Lynn.

    “Across the four nights, there were in excess of 500 performers from across all year groups from Reception through to Year 13,” explained Mr Norman. “These were spread across all the schools in the West Norfolk Academies Trust and beyond.

    “Students from all WNAT schools were involved. However, we were also joined by community music groups including the West Norfolk Music Centre, West Norfolk Winds, and others – a real showcase of all the different types of music from across West Norfolk.”

    Among the performers were musicians from the Trust’s Musical Instrumental Tuition Initiative (MITI) Programme, including a String Ensemble, a Wind Band, and individual piano and percussion students.

    More than 900 people attended the Community Music Festival, which culminated in the WNAT Choral Spectacular, featuring choirs from all the Trust’s schools, along with special guest St Martha’s – a total of around 250 students, aged five to 18.

    “The students of all ages coming together is a unique experience,” continued Mr Norman. “There is an overarching sense of camaraderie, and, whatever the age, the students joke, and laugh, and just enjoy making music together.

    “There was a wide range of pieces on offer, from musical theatre to classic pop to rock. However, the highlight had to be the grand finale when all the children joined together to perform ‘This is Me’ from The Greatest Showman.”

    “For the young people in our schools, this now-annual event is important in so many ways,” added Mr Norman. “The professional-level stage is just one aspect of this, as all performers have the joy of performing in front of appreciative audiences on equipment of such a high level.

    “However, this is just the tip of the iceberg, as you cannot measure the good a series of events like this does on inspiring future musicians, who, in some cases, will be hearing advanced performances for the first time.

    “This gives them the opportunity to perform and work with a whole range of musicians. This is something you cannot really measure as both an inspirational and aspirational tool.”

  • Sixth Sibling Joins Springwood

    Published 10/09/25

    Brothers and sisters often attend the same school, but as the new academic year begins, one of our secondary schools is welcoming a sixth sibling from the same family through its doors.

    Eleven-year-old Max McKenzie has just started in Year 7 at Springwood High School, following in the footsteps of his four sisters and his brother, whose ages range from 13 to 25.

    Oldest sister Ciera joined the school in 2011, and liked it so much that she returned to work there.

    “Ciera is now a Maths Teacher at Springwood,” explained Briony McKenzie, mother of the six. “She went away to uni, then got a job at Springwood as a Maths Tutor when she came back. She did her teacher training there and then started teaching.

    “She loves it at Springwood and has recently taken over as one of the managers of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Scheme.”

    Second sister, 21-year-old Jess, is in her fourth year at Bristol University, studying to be a vet, while the remaining siblings are all current students at Springwood, which is part of the West Norfolk Academies Trust.

    Seventeen-year-old Belle has just begun her second year of A-levels, and is studying maths, biology, and chemistry, with a view to a career in medicine; while 15-year-old Sam is now in Year 11 and will be taking his GCSEs next summer; and Martha, aged 13, is in Year 9. 

    “Max has been really looking forward to starting at Springwood,” continued Mrs McKenzie. “He’s been going backwards and forwards to the school since he was a baby, so he knows quite a lot about it already, and knows a lot of people there. I think he felt a bit left out and was looking forward to being there himself.”

    Both Mrs McKenzie and her husband Chris, a GP, have been impressed by the school and all it has to offer.

    “Whatever you’re interested in, there’s something for everyone at Springwood,” she said.

    “There is so much on offer, with a massive list of clubs that children can go to. The amount that’s available is amazing – as is the amount of help and encouragement the children get. There’s nothing the teachers won’t do for you.

    “They do the most amazing trips too. Jess went to Thailand, and Belle went to Vietnam. They get funding, so it doesn’t cost much to go, and they do volunteer work when they’re there. It makes it very accessible, and nobody misses out.

    “It has always been a popular school and it has stayed that way, with far fewer staff changes than you’d expect over the years,” she added.

    “Although it’s a big school, with 2,000-plus students, the teachers know everyone really well. Even the Headteacher knows everyone’s name. You’re treated as an individual, not just a number.

    “I think his brother and sisters are happy that Max is starting at Springwood. The school makes sure that Ciera doesn’t have to teach any of them though – it could be awkward if she had to give them detention!”

    Executive Headteacher Andy Johnson welcomed Max, saying: “I would like to thank Dr and Mrs McKenzie for sending such wonderful children to Springwood.”

  • Hunstanton Welcomes Employees of the Future

    Published 10/09/25

    Students from a WNAT school got a taste of the world of employment when they took part in a week’s work experience.
    The Year 10 cohort from Smithdon High School in Hunstanton chose a range of different professions to sample, with some travelling as far afield as Gloucester, Milton Keynes, and the West Midlands for their placements, while others stayed closer to home.

    “Each student is given a work contract which they have to sign before they attend their placement,” explained Smithdon Careers Lead, Sam Fairweather, who organises Work Experience Week. “This gives them details of working hours (start and finish times and breaks), uniform, and an outline of the tasks they will be undertaking, along with a risk assessment.

    “There is a real range of companies involved, and each student replicates the role of the employee they are working with. Some students in larger companies were given the opportunity to work with different departments each day within the same company, whilst others working with sole traders got a real taste of what employment in that industry really entails.”

    Among the companies offering placements this year were Henrys, Oasis, SilverSands, Snettisham Farm Park, the YMCA, the RSPCA Shop, and Flemmings, as well as Searles, Palm Papers, and a number of hotels, cafes, restaurants, and schools in the area.

    “I think every local primary school had some new classroom assistants, helping the younger students with their learning,” continued Miss Fairweather. “We had students in local cafes, restaurants and hotels, learning how the hospitality industry works.

    “Searles are always very supportive and took 15 of our students across a huge range of departments, including events, leisure and hospitality, grounds and maintenance, at both the Searles Hunstanton and Heacham Manor site.

    “We had students at Palm Papers working on the CHP and steam raising systems, plumbers, electricians, and landscape gardeners.”

    The work experience students were also supported by Year 10 Form Tutors Jamie Tilley, Head of PE; Andrew Corder, Head of History; Science Teacher Veronica Soper; and Maths Teacher Sam Plant; as well as Headteacher Amanda Gibbins.

    “Work experience is more than just a week away from the classroom,” added Miss Fairweather. “It’s a vital opportunity  to prepare for the future. Whether students are aiming for university, an apprenticeship, or going straight into the workforce, hands-on experience in a real job setting provides invaluable lessons that go far beyond textbooks.

    “Work experience helps students develop key employability skills, such as communication, teamwork, time management, and problem solving. It also gives them a taste of what different careers are really like, helping them make more informed decisions about their future paths. For many, it’s the first step in discovering  what kind of work they enjoy – or don’t.

    “Ultimately, work experience gives students confidence to step outside their comfort zone and see what lies beyond the school gate. It’s a valuable part of education that helps turn ambition into direction, and gives young people a stronger start in life.”

  • WNAT Students Win Cambridge Writing Contest

    Published 10/09/25

    Writers from a WNAT school had their analytical skills tested in a prestigious essay-writing competition held by Cambridge University, when they pipped entrants from across the region to take both first and second prizes.

    The Year 9 students from Smithdon High School in Hunstanton were among the finalists of the Cambridge Writing Prize, which is part of the Cambridge Festival of Reading and Writing, and is open to schools across Norfolk, Cambridge, and Bradford.

    “We have been fortunate to participate in this competition since its launch in 2018,” said Smithdon Head of English Amanda Wright.

    “Organised by Cambridge University, this prestigious event allows students to study texts previously shortlisted by the BBC Short Story Competition. Universal themes such as identity, family, and anxiety are ideas students explore as they study texts such as ‘Ghillie’s Mum’ by Lynda Clark, ‘Scrimshaw’ by Eley Williams, and ‘The Sweet Sop’ by Ingrid Persaud.”

    The whole of Year 9 took part in the annual contest, focusing on ‘The Sweet Sop’, and each producing a 500- to 750-word essay giving a personal perspective on the piece.

    “It is a story about relationships, forgiveness, and – perhaps the most relatable aspect – a penchant for chocolate,” explained Mrs Wright. “Victor, the narrative’s protagonist, bonds with his terminally ill, estranged father, Reggie, over chocolate.

    “Students read and interrogated the text before writing an essay about individual perspective.

    “Three years of Key Stage 3 study culminated in this intense, academic writing, and the Smithdon Year 9 cohort all participated in the process.”

    Around 80 students from a range of different schools came together at Cambridge University for the Prize Giving, which also featured a competitive scavenger hunt in the grounds of Robinson College, and a buffet lunch, as well as a university-style lecture by Professor Raphael Lyne at Lady Mitchell Hall on Shakespeare’s ‘Sonnet 116’.

    Alex da Costa, Chair of the Faculty of English, was on hand to make the presentations, which included overall winner Brayden May, and runner-up Hadleigh Clay – both Smithdon students.

    “Brayden’s essay was commended for its insightful analysis of the subtleties of the text,” continued Mrs Wright. “The Selection Committee called his writing ‘perceptive, interesting and incisive’.

    “Hadleigh’s essay was awarded for it being ‘perceptive, well articulated, and coherent’.”

    “The opportunity to participate in this competition is unparalleled,” she added.

    “Students have the opportunity to spend the day at one of the finest universities, and they have access to diverse texts which expand their knowledge of English as an academic subject, and broaden their understanding of the world and human experience.

    “The competition promotes confidence and independence – students discuss literature, and how they choose to respond to the prompt of ‘individual perspective’ is ultimately up to them.”

  • WNAT High-Flyers Rise to the Challenge

    Published 09/09/25

    Intrepid adventurers from a WNAT school tested their mettle when they spent three days at Caythorpe PGL Centre.

    The Year 7 students from Smithdon High School in Hunstanton took part in a series of challenging activities which included high ropes, a giant swing, raft building, laser tag, Jacob’s Ladder, Survivor, Disc Golf, and trapeze.

    They slept in tents to enhance the outdoor experience, and also enjoyed a silent disco, as well as spending time relaxing around the camp fire.

    “Students worked with amazing instructors whilst on the trip that encouraged and helped students with their confidence,” said Alysha Moat, who is Assistant Head of Years 7 and 8, and accompanied the group, along with Maths Teacher Sam Plant, Year 7 and 8 Pastoral Manager Sally Collins, Year 7 Tutor and Science Teacher Vanessa Bartosova, and Year 7 Tutor and Drama Teacher Kayleigh Brown.

    “Staff all took part as well, showing students we are also human and have our fears of things, such as heights and water,” she continued.

    “Both staff and students had an amazing time. We were all challenged and learnt a lot about ourselves and each other. It has definitely made the students that went much closer and tighter as a year group.”

    The trip has become a regular fixture in the Smithdon calendar.

    “Trips like this are very important,” added Ms Moat. “They help students communicate, learn how to work as a team, build resilience, perseverance, problem solving, work under pressure, learn how to deal with emotions, and push outside their comfort zone.

    “We try to develop and embed the ‘Smithdon Seven’ when on the trip – ‘Pride’, ‘Community’, ‘Respect’, ‘Prepared’, ‘Self-Belief’, ‘Ambition’, and ‘Responsibility’.”

  • WNAT School Donates Maps to Hunstanton Heritage Centre

    Published 09/09/25

    Smithdon High School in Hunstanton, which is part of the West Norfolk Academies Trust, strengthened its links with the surrounding area, when it donated a collection of maps to the Heritage Centre.

    “We are currently going through all of our resources and equipment before the potential start of a rebuilding project in the coming months, and are making some interesting finds,” explained Assistant Headteacher Steve Chapman, who rediscovered the maps, many of which are more than 50 years old.

    “The maps had been held in the Geography Department storage cupboard for many years,” he continued. “I was concerned that these maps were not being looked after in the way they should be.

    “The maps of all the local villages had not been used in lessons for a number of years.”

    Mr Chapman approached the Heritage Centre in Hunstanton to see if they would be interested in the maps, and the Committee members were happy to add them to their collection.

    Representatives Andrew Murray, Stephen Kent, and Sheila Kent from the Centre visited Smithdon on Friday 11 July to accept the maps in person from Mr Chapman.

    “The Heritage Centre on the corner of Northgate and Greevegate holds a fascinating collection of local memorabilia and artefacts, which the public can visit,” he added.

    “The school looks forward to working closely with the Heritage Centre in the new academic year, with small group visits to the Centre to help increase students’ knowledge and understanding of local Geography and History.”

  • WNAT Teacher Celebrates 30th Year at School

    Published 09/09/25

    As the new academic year kicks off, a teacher at a WNAT school is celebrating an impressive milestone.

    Steve Chapman joined Smithdon High School in September 1996, meaning this month marks the start of his thirtieth year of teaching there.

    Now Assistant Headteacher at the school, Norfolk-born Mr Chapman attained a degree in Geography and Economics at the University of Reading before completing a PGCE at the University of Anglia.

    “I wanted to teach, as I really enjoyed Geography and Economics, and I have always enjoyed meeting people, which education allows you to do,” he explained. “I had been inspired by my own teachers, who showed passion for their subject and used teaching techniques which allowed me to enjoy learning.”

    “I remember my first day at Smithdon,” he continued. “I was given a very friendly Year 8 form who were with me until they left in Year 11.

    “We had a great Year 8 tutor team, and one of the most memorable times was in May 1997 when we took around 150 students on a camp at Trimingham on the Norfolk coast. This was so successful that in May 1998, we took a similar number on a two-night trip to London, visiting the shows Cats and Grease, and the Tower of London.”

    Other career highlights have included outings to Disneyland Paris, London, Brighton, and Birmingham, along with a visit to Alton Towers, complete with rollercoaster ride.

    During his three decades at the school, Mr Chapman has held a variety of roles, becoming Deputy Head of Sixth Form in 2000, and then Head of Sixth Form from 2002 to 2018.

    “It was an amazing job, allowing me to work with ambitious, young people, supporting them towards their goals of fantastic university careers,” he said.

    “I have also been Head of Geography and Business, and firmly believe that teaching is the most important part of the job. Delivering a lesson, interacting with students, and seeing them progress is extremely rewarding.

    “In January 2022, I became Assistant Headteacher, focusing on GCSE achievement, quality assurance, staff development, and Early Careers Teachers. I really enjoy working with our excellent staff team. It is humbling that I can offer support to staff – but many of them teach me new techniques, as I have the honour of seeing them all teach.

    “Working in a school is never dull, days go quickly, and you never quite know what might happen.”

    Mr Chapman continues to enjoy his time at Smithdon, and has no plans to go elsewhere.

    “It may be unusual to spend your whole career in one school, but my career has developed here,” he added.

    “The best thing about my job is the students of Smithdon High School, who I honestly believe are the best you can work with.

    “Only last month, I saw an ex-student who also started Smithdon in 1996, who told me that my lessons were the inspiration for her career, and that I introduced her to the term ‘sustainability’, which she ultimately used in her job.

    “She also told me that I had not aged – I was very pleased with that compliment!”

    “Steve is a stalwart of Smithdon and lynchpin in our Senior Leadership Team,” said Headteacher Amanda Gibbins. “Calm, consistent, and widely respected by students and staff alike, he is an inspiration to us all, not least in having dedicated 30 years of his life to one school – which is a rarity in today’s education world.

    “I look forward to continuing to work with him for years to come.”

  • WNAT Artists ‘Gather’ at Hunstanton Town Hall

    Published 08/09/25

    Artists from a WNAT school impressed art lovers when they showcased their talents at an exhibition held in Hunstanton Town Hall.

    Eighteen GCSE Art students from Smithdon High School were exhibiting their creative work, which featured an array of different media from biro, pencils, and prints, to textiles and oil paintings.

    “The exhibition was named ‘Gatherings’, after the project title students were given in their exam project,” explained Sian Wheeler, who is Head of Art and Design and Technology at the school.

    “Each student had two of their final pieces on display which were from coursework and exam projects.

    “The students created work from the themes of ‘Reflection’, ‘Similarities and Differences’, and ‘Gatherings’.”

    It was the third year that the show had been held at the Town Hall, with more than 200 visitors attending across a two-day period.

    “The public feedback on the exhibition as a whole, praised the work of our talented Smithdon students,” continued Mrs Wheeler.

     “A few pieces were mentioned often as stand-out – Ava M’s woven piece, Rhenaya C’s colour pencil Candy Canes, and Megan M’s biro tiger.”

    Another highlight was a drawing installation that had been created by more than 300 primary school children, alongside Smithdon students, and to which visitors could contribute, enabling it to grow and evolve throughout the exhibition.

    Staff involved in the event included Smithdon Deputy Head Sarah Robinson and Assistant Head Alysha Moat. They were also joined by professional artist – and former Smithdon student – Emily Chapman, who was on hand to select a winner for the Emily Chapman Art Award, which will be presented at a Year 11 Awards Evening in November.

    “The public were in awe of the talent and work produced at Smithdon, with many asking if work was for sale, or which students were going on to study Art further,” added Mrs Wheeler.

    “This event is so important in raising the profile of the arts. It enables people to see the students in a different light, and their talents.”

  • From Norfolk to Nepal

    Published 03/09/25

    Students from a WNAT school became teachers when a cultural trip of a lifetime saw them travel to Southern Asia to spend more than two weeks helping pupils in Nepal.

    Thirteen students from Marshland High School travelled to Bhaktapur for the 17-day adventure, staying near Durbar Square, which is one of Nepal’s UN Historical Sites.

    “We were working with Springdale Secondary School, helping students in Class 4 to 6 (eight to 11-year-olds) with STEM projects,” explained Claire Whitehouse, who is Assistant Headteacher at Marshland in West Walton.

    “Our students planned and taught three lessons a day, trying to include hands-on, interactive experiences for the students in their learning. One day also allowed our students to deliver CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) training to the Nepal students.”

    “The headteacher of the school was incredibly impressed with the students’ teaching techniques, and the way they conducted themselves,” said Marshland Head of History, Debby Dye, who accompanied the group.

    “It was inspiring to see them in action, showcasing such a wide range of invaluable skills – leadership, teamwork, empathy, organisation, resilience, communication, and adaptability.”

    As well as supporting the Nepali children in their science studies, the students had the opportunity to explore the area, visiting historic sites and experiencing local customs, food, and dress.

    Visits included Swayambhu Mahachaitya, the monkey temple; Thamel, the traditional market area of capital city Kathmandu; and the Bageshwori Nagarkot suspension bridge; while the students also had the opportunity to try their hand at traditional pottery making, try-on classic Nepali clothing, and to sample a variety of Nepali food.

    “The students immersed themselves into the Nepali culture, increasing their awareness and understanding of Global Citizenship,” added Mrs Whitehouse. “It was a pleasure to see them grow in confidence and develop their skills.  The students were a credit to themselves and the school.”
