AMMAN — British Ambassador to Jordan Edward Oakden hosted a reception to inaugurate the partnership between the New English School (NES) in Amman and Repton School, in Derbyshire in the UK, an embassy statement said.

Speaking at the reception, Ambassador Oakden, himself an old Reptonian, said: “I am delighted at the establishment of this partnership between two such leading providers of secondary education in our two countries…. Education is a key area in building the futures of our two nations and I am pleased that the partnership between the UK and Jordan is growing to include some of our finest schools.” The partnership, the statement said, “is an acknowledgement of the achievements of NES and its aspirations to further develop via the exchange of experiences and the development of staff and curricula”.
