The Jesuit Companionship Programme, established for over seven years, has allowed my school, Barlborough Hall, to form a wonderfully enriching link with Makumbi Primary School in Zimbabwe.

To promote and demonstrate Jesuit education whilst deepening pupils’ understanding of justice at home and overseas.
