TEACHERS from Belgium, Finland and Turkey visited The Blake Primary School in Witney as part of a European project to share skills and help pupils learn about other cultures.

The exchange was funded by the European Union’s Comenius programme.

The schools have worked together on a project titled Is the grass greener on the other side?, focusing on ecological sustainability.
