TEACHERS from primary schools in Upton, Hanley Swan, Longdon are Pendock preparing for a trip to Hungary.

The nine teachers will travel to Budapest on Sunday, February 12, to experience at first hand a foreign education system.

They will spend five days visiting schools and swapping expertise with their Hungarian colleagues.

Upton CE Primary School's Emma Malpass is looking forward to the trip, which she described as a unique opportunity.

"It's very exciting," she said. "We're all looking forward to immersing ourselves in a completely different culture.

"It should be a good chance to reflect on our own methods and bring back lots of positive new ideas."

The trip will be funded by Worcestershire County Council.
