<strong>Cranford</strong> Develops Partnerships<br />
with Key Far East Schools<br />
72<br />
In<br />
April <strong>2019</strong>, Kevin Prunty, Executive<br />
Headteacher and Peter Stumpf, Associate<br />
Headteacher, visited two of our important partner<br />
schools in the Far East.<br />
Firstly, we visited Princess Chulabhorn Science<br />
High School in Pathumthani, Thailand, which is<br />
one of our newer partners following their inaugural<br />
visit of students and teachers to <strong>Cranford</strong> in March<br />
<strong>2019</strong>. During the visit to Pathumthani, we explored<br />
in detail the next stage of the relationship between<br />
the two schools and in particular the possibility of<br />
teacher placements and exchanges where <strong>Cranford</strong><br />
teachers spend some time teaching their specialist<br />
subject in Princess Chulabhorn Science High<br />
School. This provides the opportunity for teachers<br />
to work together and learn from each other and as<br />
such is invaluable professional development.<br />
The visit included a detailed tour of the school<br />
campus in order to look at the accommodation and<br />
other facilities available. The school is located<br />
outside of the city and has extensive grounds and<br />
lots of space.<br />
We were also able to visit Prathumsuksa Thammasat<br />
School and Anuban Pathumthani School both of<br />
which are keen to work closely with <strong>Cranford</strong><br />
and our primary partner, Berkeley Academy, in<br />
collaborative project including teacher exchanges.<br />
The second part of the trip took us to Shanghai<br />
in China where we visited South Dong Chang<br />
Middle School which is located in the heart of<br />
Shanghai. This is a longstanding partnership that<br />
exists with <strong>Cranford</strong> and the visit was used to explore<br />
different ways in which the two schools can further<br />
develop opportunities for collaboration between<br />
teachers and students via exchange visits. At the end<br />
of the visit, Kevin Prunty Executive Headteacher<br />
and Fangfang, South Dong Principal, signed a new<br />
Memorandum of Understanding. This MOU outlines<br />
different ways in which the schools will develop<br />
further partnership work over the coming years.<br />
Shortly after we returned to the UK, South Dong<br />
Chang Middle School sent a group of students and<br />
teachers to <strong>Cranford</strong> indicating the strength of this<br />
partnership. Further details of their visit can be<br />
found elsewhere in this publication.<br />
