German Exchange

Annual exchange visit with partner school in Cologne

Our annual exchange visit with our partner school in Cologne took place in the week before half-term.  The German party consisted of 18 students and 2 members of staff and they were officially welcomed to Bury by the Mayor and Mayoress at the Town Hall.  The exchange - which has been running since 1954 and is one of the oldest of its kind - was again a most enjoyable and successful one, and the BGSB boys were delighted to win the Baumsteiger Trophy in the traditional football match.
