DUTCH students went to a Darlington school to take part in a festival of sports.
Fifty two students from a school in Hoorn, in northern Holland, visited their counterparts at Longfield School for the second part of an exchange visit.
Seventy Longfield students went to Holland two weeks ago, as part of the Dreams and Teams initiative for specialist sports colleges.
During the Dutch students' visit, they sat in on history lessons then took part in a festival of sports, competing in cricket, softball and rounders.
Longfield headteacher Keith Cotgrave said: "We are delighted to welcome the Dutch students to the school. Our students had a great time over there, so it is good to be able to return the favour and give them a taste of life in an English school."
