Learning another language and finding out about different cultures is essential in our world of international business and travel.

We believe that the earlier a pupil is exposed to a foreign language, the better.

Saturday Mornings

Throughout the year there are cultural mornings organised for pupils from Years 5 to 8. These range from learning about La Fête des Rois in Year 5 to taster sessions in Italian and Russian in Years 7 and 8.

European Day of Languages

We celebrate 26th September each year with a multilingual quiz for the pupils. The theme changes annually and there are prizes for the best entries submitted in each year group.

European Theatre Company

Pupils in Years 3 to 6 love the annual visit from this theatre company! Their French show is always met with rapturous applause. Pupils are helped with the relevant vocabulary in advance so that they can understand the story and some even get the chance to go on stage with the actors!

Independent Schools Inspectorate, May 2010

'Pupils receive significant linguistic provision.  All study French from Year 1 and Latin in Year 7. In Year 8, they have the additional choice of Spanish or German.'
