Joyce Frankland Academy puts Essex on the map for European students
As part of a week of activities for
ERASMUS students from across
Europe, Joyce-Frankland Academy
Newport hosted an employment
seminar.
Leading the seminar was local
MP Kemi Badenoch as well as
representatives from local businesses,
Astra Zeneca and Stansted Airport.
Pupils were given the opportunity to

to ensure we remain a part of the
ERASMUS programme.”
“It was pleasing to see so many
international students interested in the
prospect of working in Essex. Credit
must go to Joyce-Frankland Academy
for organising such an interesting
programme of activities and putting
Essex on the map. I was glad to
have the opportunity to speak about
my experiences as a fi rst-generation
immigrant, and about Britain being an
ask questions about the area from
those who know it best.
The week began with a visit to
Parliament, during which the visitors
learnt about the British system of
democracy and the history of its home.
Many of them followed this up with
questions to Mrs. Badenoch at the
seminar on Friday.
“A lot of students wanted to know
whether they’d still be able to study
in the UK after Brexit” said Mrs.
Badenoch. “Absolutely, was my
answer.”
“Britain has always been an open,
welcoming country, and that won’t
change. We will continue to have
strong relations with ERASMUS
countries after Brexit, and I will be

open and outward looking country.”
The students of Joyce-Frankland have
also taken part in trips to partner
countries in Europe, including Estonia,
to experience studying and living
in other cultures. The ERASMUS
programme will continue in the UK
until 2020, and beyond if Britain’s
continued participation is agreed
in the negotiations. Other non-EU
countries such as Turkey, Norway
and Iceland also take part, so EU
membership is not a requirement.
Fry Art Gallery
The Fry Art Gallery’s major 2018
exhibition “Edward Bawden at Home:
A Working Life” continues throughout
the Summer. To complement the
exhibition six guided visits from
Saffron Walden to Great Bardfi eld have
been organised.
They will take place over the Saturday
and Sunday afternoons of three
weekends, 9th/10th June, 14/15th July
and 15/16th September from 2pm to
5pm and will include a visit to the
Town Hall and Bawden Room in Great
Bardfi eld, along with a walking tour of
the village (led by Janet Dyson, local
author of ‘Artists of Great Bardfi eld”)
and tea and cake.
As well as passing by the artists’
houses, the tour will also visit some
of the locations found in their art
works. The outward route from Saffron
Walden will be via Little Sampford
and the return trio will stop at
Lindsell Church. Both were painted
by Edward Bawden and are beautiful
ecclesiastical settings in their own
right.
