Pupils from all the

schools, as well as their

teachers visited the local

cities of Canterbury and

Rochester, along withtheir cathedrals as part

of the project, for which

all schools were given a

Comenius grant.

The partners also spent

a day within the school

itself, allowing students

to spend time together

playing games and mak-

ing friends, and the

teachers to exchangeideas and experiences.

As well as an introduc-

tion to British culture,

students at The Abbey

were given an insight

into all the cultures they

have yet to experience
