During February, our French partner school INJA (Institut National des Jeunes Aveugles) were welcomed to experience a week of cultural exchange and school life at NCW.

The week kick-started with a tour around school, visiting various lessons and with students getting to know one another over meal times and evening activities in the houses.

As always, our exchange visits are full of fun and educational events, and this one was no exception! Students from INJA had the opportunity to experience local culture and history with a trip to Worcester Cathedral, The Hive and a day out to the Black Country Museum where they enjoyed a fascinating guided tour of the famous mines.

The highlight of the week for many was the chance to learn all about Hugby, an inclusive version of Rugby, with the Worcester Warriors Community Foundation. Students loved having a go at the inclusive sport and were also treated to a tour of the stadium where they met some of the players.
