Chinese visitors met new council leaders

2 July 2009

12 schools from across Derbyshire are twinned with schools in Yangpu, China.  80 Derbyshire students visited their partner schools earlier this year to carry out joint curriculum projects.

The delegation from Yangpu met with Derbyshire County Council’s Chairman, Councillor Robin Baldry, Council Leader, Councillor Andrew Lewer and Cabinet Member for Education, Councillor Mike Longden.

Councillor Robin Baldry said: “It was great to meet with the team from Yangpu and talk about what we might be able to do jointly together in the future.”
