Nottingham Academy welcomed a group of students from Ulsan Foreign Language High School in South Korea.

Our visitors spent three days at Ransom Road campus where they teamed up with our Pupil Parliament to take part in a programme of activities including drama, sport, music and cooking.

The visit began on Friday 8^th February 2019 when our Pupil Parliament introduced themselves and Nottingham Academy.

They spoke highly of the academy and celebrated the diversity of it, by talking about the variety of nationalities of our pupils.

Visitors then took part in a quiz about how well they know Britain's history, as well as their knowledge on Nottingham. They scored very highly in all the quizzes.

Activities based around the British culture and Nottingham's Robin Hood were then held.

Ms Wilkins, who is a SEN Learning Mentor at Nottingham Academy, handed out traditional British sweets to her group, who watched the Mr Bean film & listened to English music, such as Stormzy.
