What better day than World Book Day to give a warm welcome to international visitors who travelled all the way from Japan to explore the UK educational system and schools approach to promoting metacognition.
Satoshi Kusaka, a Lecturer at Naruto University in Japan, and Kana, a master’s student, were treated to a comprehensive tour of Marshfield Primary School, where they witnessed the enchanting learning environment, gained insights into the school curriculum and experienced the school’s vibrant celebration of World Book Day.
Impressed by the high standards of work in student books, Satoshi and Kana recognised the all-round excellence delivered at Marshfield, along with the schools many accolades, and were looking forward to sharing their insights (and photos!) with schools back home in Japan.
Assistant headteacher, Mr. Perkins clearly left a lasting impression with his fluent Japanese, and the Trust is looking forward to future visits from Satoshi and other Japanese educationalists next year!
