Pistoia Twinning: We are looking forward to our annual visit from our partner school in the small Tuscan town of Pescia.

The group of 21 Italian students who will be twinned with Scottish pupils are part of the Twinning link between NLC and Pistoia. The school exchange is already in its 14th year. The visitors will experience school and family life as a young Scot as well as participating in cultural visits both locally and also to further afield.

This is a wonderful opportunity for young people to get to know each other and experience each other’s lifestyles.

The Scottish‘twins’will have the opportunity to visit our partner school in Pescia next term.
