Host families are wanted in the Mansfield and Ashfield area to host international students.

The students, who will be studying A or AS Levels and go to local schools, will be arriving in Mansfield in September for 10 months.

A spokesman said: “This is a chance to enhance the social and cultural development of both your family and the visiting student, and create new and long lasting cross-cultural friendships and connections.

“Give them the full British experience alongside them attending your local 6th form and studying A or AS levels.

“It will provide a rewarding experience for your family that they will engage in, be educated by and enjoy.”
