once-in-a-lifetime opportunities
Opportunities around the world
Wrekin’s Exchange programme offers students a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience education in a different country, and host an international pupil in return.
This unique experience creates lifelong memories and provides students with incomparable life experience in living and learning in another country, as well as providing valuable skills which both universities and employers are looking for.
The exchange programme at Wrekin provides opportunities for pupils to participate in exchanges with host schools in Australia, South Africa, India and Argentina.
The way in which previous participants talk about their exchange experience and the benefits they so clearly accrue from their time abroad is the real testimony to the success of the programme. They not only make new friends but also begin to appreciate the wider world: geographically, educationally, socially and politically. It is an opportunity not to be missed.
Taking place for Wrekinians from the middle of July to the end of August, their exchange counterparts come to the UK at various times of the year.
