AMERICA will play host to three local headteachers when they jet over to learn more about American education.
Sue Crosdale of Lowton High School, Steve Turner of Golborne High and Jane Lees of Hindley Community High School-Arts College are among a dozen UK heads making the trip.
The British Council, National College for School Leaders and the Department for Education and Skills are sponsoring the visit which will concentrate on specialist schools, Information and Communication Technology and inclusive education.
Binghamton University and head teachers in New York will take care of the visitors and it hopefully links will be maintained when the heads return to the UK and further projects developed.
