It was celebrations all round as 45 children passed their English exams - despite being Dutch.
The children from Enschede, in the Netherlands, took the Sats exams through Mayflower School in Billericay. The exam papers were marked by Mayflower and the students came to Billericay this week to find out how well they had done.

Every pupil passed with some getting very high grades. They were then treated to a tour of the region by children from Mayflower.
Miriam Davis, Mayflower's gifted and talented pupil co-ordinator, said: "They all did very, very well, even though they did not find the exam easy. They were very pleased to get their results.
"We have had a connection with the Dutch school for about five years now and we see it as very positive for everyone."
