Mayor of Sampang Visit
We were honoured to have been chosen as a school to be visited by Mayor Sampang as part of his UK tour.
Mayor Sampang had been invited to visit the UK and travelled around the country visiting a range of Nepali communities including military venues and schools. Cheriton Primary School was chosen as part of his visit, due to our close ties with the Nepali community and the large proportion of Nepali children who learn with us.
Mayor Sampang is well known in Nepal for having made significant impact in Dharan, Nepal, making a number of changes through his works and projects, including improving the water supplies to the 1.7m population of the city.
The Mayor enjoyed a tour of the school and commented on how friendly and engaged the children were in their learning and play. He met a number of staff and then was invited to our International Tea Afternoon, where he was able to meet many of our parents and wider community. He was also treated to performances from children, including Nepali dancing, martial arts displays and songs.
