Our high school has welcome a group of British students from St Danes Clemens from January12 th to the 19th.  It is part of an exchange between our school and this one, in Chorleywood,near London.1º Bachillerato and 3º ESO students have hosted our British guests for a week.
During their stay, they have visited different cities and attended lessons in our high school.However, the most important experience and the one they most cherished is living with aSpanish family, giving them the possibility, not only of practising the language, but living the culture and buliding up frienship with their Spanish counterparts.
Now, we are looking forward to our visit next June!


Among those activities organized by our school, a guided tour of Seville, organized by 4º ESO Advanced Listening and Speaking students was the highlight.
