College maintains global connection with student visit

The students, from Toyota City, Japan, were hosted by local families in and around Burton as they celebrated the longstanding partnership between Toyota City and the College.

The visit included English language sessions, a British cookery experience and a Creative Media Workshop.

At the end of their trip, students presented their insights into Japanese culture and displayed traditional Japanese crafts and activities at a cultural exhibition.
