Abjat-sur-Bamdiat Ecole Primaire
We have recently made a link with a primary school in Abjat-sur-Bandiat in the North Dordogne in France. This school is in complete contrast to Marsden Primary as there are only two classes with 50 children in total. The school is in a rural village which has a total population of 641.Our children will be corresponding with pupils from this school from September 2015 to learn more about the French culture and language.
