A MALAWI headteacher visited the Dell Primary School in Chepstow last week to talk to pupils and thank them for their fundraising efforts.

The Chepstow primary has for the past two years been a partner school to Yankho Elementary School in Lilongwe and has raised money for two pupils from the south east African country to be able to attend school.

Last week, Austin Assan, the headteacher of Yankho Elementary, came to Chepstow to address the assembly and talk to the pupils.

Stephen King, headteacher at the Dell, said: "There was a lovely buzz around the school last week. Everywhere Mr Assad went he was bombarded with questions from the pupils which was great.

"We are very aware that Children here in Chepstow could easily stay in the Monmouthshire bubble but as a school we wanted to give them the opportunity to experience the wider world and for them to be able to speak to someone from southeast Africa."

The school council have been raising money for two Malawi children to attend school at £15 a term each and have paid for their school uniforms.
