Dear european colleagues

 We wish we could set up a strong link with an English-speaking partner school.

Our students, aged from 17-21, go through training courses either in farming, business or

trading studies. Our school stands by the seaside in a semi-rural area in Normandy. Granville is a lively town, one-hour drive approximately from Caen or Rennes ( the nearest main towns ).

Those students spend 15 days at school and 15 days in their training company.

As far as the forms are concerned, +he number of pupils is as followed:

    -  Agriculture ( level: 6th form ): Between 20 and 30 students on average

    -  Business studies / trading ( level: 6th form ): between 10 and 20 students on average.

    - Vocational Training Certificate ( post A level ): between 15 and 20 students on average.

       Those students already go through a training period abroad, either working in farms or studs for a minimum of 4 weeks and 10 weeks maximum.

One common point between those 3 professional training courses is our interest in enhancing pupil learning but also opening our school to Europe as we have already managed to do on a local ground through various activities.

Obviously, our interest turns toward English-speaking countries as our students have learnt

English as a sole foreign language in their curriculum. Besides, +he school Headmaster strongly supports this project, hoping that those pieces of informa+ion will urge you to reply positively to our offer.

Could you please let us know whether you are interested in an exchange and, if so.. on which basis ( form or lengh of the exchange).

We all look forward to hearing from you.
