🎓 Sonam and Yamuna have completed their professional placement at St George's C of E Primary School Telford and what a second week they’ve had! They’ve continued to fully immerse themselves in school life, building on everything they experienced in week one and deepening their understanding of whole-school practice.

📚 This week they explored a wide range of key areas across the curriculum and wider school development, including libraries and reading, behaviour management, active learning, phonics, maths in practice, art in the curriculum, play-based learning, the use of easily accessible resources, SEND provision and leadership and staff development.

🏫 They also had the opportunity to visit five further schools, Allscott Meads Primary, Cruddington Primary, Lantern Primary, Redhill Primary and John Randall Primary. This gave them a fascinating comparison with St George’s and helped broaden their perspective on different approaches within UK primary schools. They thoroughly enjoyed meeting staff and children in both settings and sharing their own culture through traditional dress and Nepali dance.

🌍 Beyond the school setting, they were also invited to speak with the Telford Rotary Club, where they shared insights into their roles as Education Support Leaders and their work mentoring CITC’s team of teachers across the Solukhumbu region.

🏡 A huge thank you to everyone who supported Sonam and Yamuna outside of the school day. They were warmly looked after throughout their stay, with evenings filled with hospitality and shared experiences. They were able to explore some incredible places, including Ironbridge, Liverpool, and the Wirral coastline. Seeing the sea for the first time was a particularly special moment for them, having come from Nepal, a landlocked country surrounded by mountains.
🇬🇧 Before returning to Nepal, Sonam and Yamuna will be visiting some of London’s famous landmarks and attractions, creating a few more special memories before heading home.

💛 This has been a truly enriching experience, full of professional learning, cultural exchange and unforgettable memories. There is so much they will take back to Nepal to share with CITC’s sponsored teachers, strengthening practice and inspiring further training and development. A heartfelt thank you to everyone at St.George's C of E Primary, Allscott Meads Primary, Cruddington Primary, Lantern Primary, Redhill Primary and John Randall Primary 🙏 #ProfessionalDevelopment #TeacherTraining #GlobalEducation #CulturalExchange #EducationNepal ...
