Pupils are looking forward to visiting their partner school in Russia in September - the Special School of the Olympic Reserve - and being put through their paces at a specialist sports school that has produced dozens of Olympic athletes. The schools are part of the Olympic Dreams Schools Network. If you would like to twin your school for 2012, sign up at www.bbc.co.uk/worldclass
