Kingsford was delighted to welcome 14 pupils and a teacher from our long-standing partner, Beijing Normal University High School, for an enriching International Integration Programme from 20th–24th January 2025.

The visiting pupils fully immersed themselves in school life, joininag lessons, co-curricular activities, and language exchanges. A highlight was the cultural symposium, where they and Kingsford pupils shared traditions, calligraphy, and cuisine, strengthening cross-cultural understanding.

Through tailored lessons and classroom discussions, our guests gained insight into British education while sharing valuable perspectives from China.

Accompanying teacher Ms Lu praised the visit, stating: "Kingsford’s focus on language proficiency and cultural fluency was evident throughout. Pupils and staff showed the open-mindedness and curiosity that define world-class international education."

The visit concluded with a poignant farewell, featuring handwritten letters and handcrafted gifts symbolizing both cultures. Plans are already underway for a reciprocal visit, and we look forward to strengthening these valuable international connections.
