SCE Heads Visit North Yorkshire

Ten SCE heads and senior staff visited North Yorkshire on 21 and 22 January. North Yorkshire's Service Schools Working Party had invited SCE colleagues to an 'Information Sharing Day' at Ripon Racecourse, where a range of approaches and ideas from North Yorkshire and SCE were shared. Among the highlights were several Year 6 children from Linton on Ouse whose readings explored the theme of 'friends moving on'. During the day beforehand the SCE travellers had visited a variety of North Yorkshire's schools, serving populations as diverse as RAF Leeming and Catterick Garrison. These proved highly valuable and many examples of good practice were celebrated.' Besides staff from Cyprus and Gibraltar, the longest journey was made by the head and curriculum leader from Hornbill School in Brunei. This school caters for Nepali speaking children of Gurkha soldiers; significant numbers of whom now also attend schools in and around Catterick.
