University of Chester - Dutch visit

A group of teachers, headteachers and experts in special educational needs from the Netherlands has taken part in a study trip to the University of Chester. The week-long trip was organised by Anne-Marie Wright, continuing professional development co-ordinator at Chester's faculty of education and children's services. The Dutch visitors looked at schools in the area and took part in discussions with academics, including Anna Sutton, dean of Chester's faculty of education. She said: "It is very important to share knowledge and best practice, as we are all fundamentally concerned with the education of children."
