At Northern Counties we are proud to offer International Opportunities to our students, widening their horizons and helping them to achieve their dreams.
New York Trip – March 2026
Following a successful bid to The Turing Scheme, Northern Counties were awarded funding to take ten learners to New York on a theatre project. Northern Counties have developed a link with Fordham School for the Arts in the Bronx, working closely with their Head of Theatre Arts, Linda Key. Learners have developed performance pieces around identity over Zoom calls and during the visit will be performing in front of 300 people at the town hall. During their stay, they will work with Fordham pupils to put together a BSL/ASL choir piece from the show ‘Kinky Boots’ and also take part in a fashion show reflecting the collaborative project.
Learners will also have the opportunity to see a show on Broadway, see the Statue of Libery, sing with performers at Ellen’s Stardust Diner and watch an all American sporting event.
