In September 2014 I went to Shanghai as part of the England - China Teacher Exchange Project led by the Department for Education. Whilst I was there I observed lots of excellent Maths teaching and made lots of new friends . At Farmilo we are lucky enough to be paired with a school in Shanghai called "Fushan Foreign Languages Primary School". There are 4,400 students and 280 qualified teachers ..... It's a very big school !!

A teacher from Shanghai , Pearl Fang is currently in the UK and will be spending 3 weeks at Farmilo teaching in Year 3 and Year 5 .
