West Kirby Residential School

International Partnership School

Footprints on the Map

Footprints on the map is our school project designed to make links with young people in different parts of the world.
The aims of our project are:

To learn about the lives of young people in other countries;

To find out about other cultures;

To show our visitors some of the best things about our own culture;

To make new friendships;

To establish lasting links with our partner schools.

In 2009 6 pupils from our school visited Pienaars River School in South Africa. In June 2010 some of their pupils will be paying us a return visit.

In September 2010 West Kirby Residential School is hosting a group of young people from Calcutta, India. They will be spending a few days in school, joining in lessons and activities and taking part in a rugby tournament at Caldy Rugby Club at the weekend. All the pupils are from very disadvantaged backgrounds.

Our pupils are currently working hard to raise funds to make both of these trips happen and to support more links in the future.
