A group of Ukrainian students are studying in Hook as part of a special English language programme.
The teenagers, who have all lost parents in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, are taking part in a two-week study camp at Lord Wandsworth College near Hook.
The fully funded opportunity was made possible through a partnership between the college, the Wimbledon School of English and charities Brightseeds and The Children of Heroes Charity Fund.
Natali Lurie, fund development and strategy director for The Children of Heroes, said: "We are working hard to give our children a new childhood. Every child has the right to education, development and the opportunity to feel good, even if they are living at the epicentre of war.
