Daegu teachers visit Oxford schools

School visits were the main focus of this week’s Workshops for the Korean teachers.  Many thanks to the staff and headteachers at Pegasus School, West Kidlington and Rye St Antony as well as our own International College and IB Sixth Form College for opening their doors.  

Our visitors commented enthusiastically on ‘the commitment of the teachers’, ‘the friendliness of staff and children/students’ and ‘the obvious engagement of children/students in the learning process’.
There really is no substitute for direct experience!
