Verona Sports Exchange

Welcome to our Visitors from Verona

Beechwood hosted a group of Italians in a sports exchange programme this week. The students were able to visit areas of local interest, see a show in London, eat out and above all play sport!

On Friday morning the whistle signalled an all England Italian final. The atmosphere was tense and the game was slow to settle as players felt the tension. The crowd was lively and supportive and became raucous as one of our players made a spectacular  overhead clearance but inevitably clearances are only one part of football: getting the ball in the net is the object of the game and our guests settled well winning 4-0. Well done Italy! The experience has been wide and rich and the students have all been exemplary. A huge thank you to the Beechwood parents who have accommodated the Italians.
