Last weekend the
Lewis School was host to sixteen Russian agents who had come to the
UK as part of a familiarisation trip. They arrived at 10pm in
Southampton and stayed overnight in the Travel Inn hotel just 200
metres from the school. They were both surprised and delighted by
the warm weather (20°C) since Russia is freezing at the moment!
On Sunday morning Alistair
gave them a presentation and tour of the school and the surrounding
areas. For some of them this was their first trip to the UK.
At 11.30 they took a bus to
Bath via Stonehenge to look at Bath University campus and then
travelled on to Chester in the North of England to visit another
university campus. The Lewis school will be delivering the academic
programme to junior students in these 2 centres during the summer.
Richard is in charge of this project and will stop teaching now to
devote himself full time to the preparation of materials and the
recruitment of lots of teachers!
