South Dong Chang Middle School Shanghai, China<br />
In<br />
June <strong>2019</strong>, a delegation from South Dong<br />
Chang Middle School (Shanghai, China) came<br />
to <strong>Cranford</strong>. This built upon the visit that Kevin Prunty<br />
Executive Headteacher and Peter Stumpf Associate<br />
Headteacher made to Shanghai in April <strong>2019</strong> where a new<br />
partnership agreement was signed between The Principal<br />
Ms Fangfang and Kevin Prunty. This new memorandum<br />
of understanding committed both schools to ongoing<br />
collaborative work allowing both students and teachers<br />
the opportunity to visit each other’s schools and learn from<br />
each other.<br />
Ocheon Senior High School<br />
(Pohang, South Korea)<br />
78<br />
The group from Shanghai were partnered with <strong>Cranford</strong><br />
students and spent each morning in lessons with their<br />
partner student experiencing life at <strong>Cranford</strong>. The <strong>Cranford</strong> ‘partners’ were<br />
from Year 8 and Year 9 and did a great job looking after their Shanghai<br />
students making them feel at home here and a part of the school.<br />
In July <strong>2019</strong>, we also hosted the fifth annual visit from Ocheon Senior High<br />
School, Pohang, South Korea. The 15 visiting students were partnered with<br />
<strong>Cranford</strong> Sixth formers who took them to lessons, showed them around<br />
and spent time playing language and educational<br />
games. Mr Ferreira and Ms Sheikh (who went on<br />
the first <strong>Cranford</strong> exchange to Korea in October<br />
2018, Mr Lennon (who himself speaks Korean)<br />
and Mr Vithlani held daily workshops for the<br />
Korean students and their <strong>Cranford</strong> partners on a<br />
range of themes including UK culture, education<br />
and travel. Some of our sixth formers will be taking<br />
part in the October Korea trip and be able to meet<br />
with their Korean partner again, so this was a great<br />
preparation for the Autumn visit to Korea.<br />
There were tearful moments at the farewell meal<br />
showing how much, in this short space of time, our<br />
students had developed genuine friendships with the<br />
Korean visitors.<br />
Peter Stumpf (Associate Headteacher)<br />
“I really enjoyed the<br />
experience that I had at<br />
<strong>Cranford</strong>. I want to stay here<br />
but I have to leave. I’m so sad<br />
and I want everyone to come<br />
to Korea where I want to share<br />
our culture with you”.<br />
Seo Young<br />
“I loved staying in London<br />
for the last 9 days. I felt<br />
so worried about this trip<br />
before I came here. But now<br />
it is the last day in London<br />
and I don’t want to go back<br />
to Korea. Actually all of the<br />
<strong>Cranford</strong> students were so<br />
kind and friendly and it was<br />
easy to talk with them. I will<br />
miss them in Korea”.<br />
Carrie<br />
“I’m very happy with the<br />
<strong>Cranford</strong> students who spent<br />
time with us. I learnt many<br />
things, different classes and<br />
spoke much English. But I<br />
liked making new friends the<br />
best. I will miss you”.<br />
