rtnerships 2015-<strong>2016</strong><br />
in London. This initiative came out of our link<br />
with Docetis International through whom we<br />
engaged 5 teachers of English from South Korea<br />
in the school for 8 weeks. They worked mainly<br />
in the English Department and were delighted<br />
with what they saw and learnt at the school. The<br />
five Korean colleagues are now back in Korea<br />
and putting into practice what they learnt here.<br />
We welcomed 10 teaching colleagues from<br />
across the European Union whose brief was<br />
specifically to look at how <strong>Cranford</strong> celebrated<br />
the richness of our multi-ethnic community.<br />
Once more the teachers were so impressed with<br />
the courteousness of the students who spoke to<br />
them about the work they were doing.<br />
As part of the year 10 PSHCE “Say No To<br />
Drugs” project during WFactor this summer,<br />
a link was made with a school in Bangladesh.<br />
This is a new venture we know that such links<br />
gives the students at <strong>Cranford</strong> an even greater<br />
understanding of issues faced by their peers in<br />
other parts of the world.<br />
Japan has one of the highest achieving education<br />
systems in the world, according to PISA data<br />
and it is right that <strong>Cranford</strong> learns from such<br />
systems on its journey to continue at beyond<br />
outstanding. Keio University, one of the<br />
most prestigious universities in Japan, is now<br />
beginning collaboration with <strong>Cranford</strong> with its<br />
Junior High School in Tokyo. This is a really<br />
exciting opportunity for both staff and students<br />
and there will be more updates soon. We also<br />
have created links with Okayama High School<br />
and their music teacher, Mr Onishi, visited the<br />
school in March to get to know us even better.<br />
A former <strong>Cranford</strong> colleague, Mr Baxter, drama<br />
teacher, works at this school and it makes a<br />
perfect link for us.<br />
Our strong and long-lasting partnership with the<br />
Tianjin College of Commerce, Tianjin, China,<br />
was further developed by the reaffirmation of<br />
the agreement between the two institutions to<br />
continue our close links and in October we<br />
receive a group from China and our group will<br />
leave just after that over the October half term.<br />
<strong>Cranford</strong> has just become an Expert Centre for<br />
the Global Learning Programme, establishing<br />
a network of primary and secondary schools to<br />
develop the global context in their curricula.<br />
These are exciting times for <strong>Cranford</strong> Community<br />
College.<br />
