Trip to Royal

Wootton

Basstte

Academy, UK

Headmistress (Middle Wing) and I, Shailja Sharma (Mathematics Teacher) went for an Educational
Collaboration to Royal Wootton Bassette Academy, United Kingdom from April 22, 2019 to April 30,
2019.

The trip to United Kingdom began in the wee hours of morning with the flight to Abu Dhabi and then
London. It seemed as if time flew and we were at the Heathrow Airport where Ms. Melissa Cassedy,
the International Coordinator of Royal Wootton Bassette Academy was waiting for us. The journey by
car driven by Ms. Cassedy to Wiltshire was mesmerizing. The beautiful and symmetric architecture of
the British, the lush green landscapes and the weather seemed to take away the tiredness of the long
journey. Ms. Cassedy dropped us at our Airbnb apartment in Wiltshire. Ms. Cassedy was so thoughtful
to carry the stuff for our breakfast for the next morning as it was too late to buy stuff from the market.
Truly, it seemed to be a home away from home.
The next day, we were taken to school by Ms. Cassedy, where our first meeting was with the Head
Teacher Mr. Geogre Croxford. We discussed about education system in the two partner schools. We got
the chance to be a part of various classes in Religious studies (year 10), Mathematics (year 7, 10 and 6th
form) and Geography (year 7).
