STAFF and children at Bure Park School, Bicester, welcomed visitors from across Europe as part of a scheme to link schools.

A total of 61 adults and children from Latvia, Poland, Italy, Germany, Romania, Bulgaria and Wales, joined lessons and social activities such as learning circus skills.

The visit was funded by the British Council. Deputy headteacher Yvonne Hewson said: β€œIt is amazing how children communicate, work and play together in spite of any language barriers.”
