17 young French students arrived at Royal Russell after a rather long journey from Orleans, eager to meet their English partners from mainly Year 9 and 10. They travelled via Eurostar and were greeted by Mrs Mawer at East Croydon station at 1 pm rather exhausted and very hungry!
The English partners came to meet them in the canteen at 1.30 pm and off they went to their lessons, not much time to socialise. I am sure it will be an excellent experience for all pupils involved. I hear from the students that lots of visits in London have been planned for the weekend.
