The Languages Department took the first steps towards establishing an exchange partnership with a Catholic school in Cannes when 14 students from the Institut Stanislas accompanied their teachers on a visit to London which culminated in a much anticipated visit to Aldenham on 14th May.

Over a pizza lunch party Aldenham's French students chatted happily with their French peers on topics which ranged from David Cameron to Thierry Henri and the French version of Big Brother.

We hope to establish pen friendships (apparently, some students' Facebook profiles are already expanded), and to pay a visit to Cannes in due course.
