We believe that languages and intercultural agility can help to foster universal understanding and contribute to building a peaceful and harmonious world future. We recognise that Global Britain needs more and better language skills. In our globalised economy, language skills and intercultural understanding add value and widen opportunities for individuals, communities and society.
Within our local context we aim to drive the teaching of languages forward and to encourage the very best practice in the classroom to be shared and celebrated. The employers in our communities stand to benefit from a richer pool of languages expertise. It is a core part of the celebration of the richness of our communities that we embrace not only the main languages used in trade but also appreciate the home languages spoken in our communities. We all benefit from this shared appreciation of our diverse backgrounds.

This video talks you through the ambitious national Languages Hub programme, administered through the National Consortium for Languages Education and funded via the Department for Education. We are proud to have been selected as one of the 15 schools in England to lead on the aims of the Hub programme. This involves a focus on the quality of teaching and sharing the best practice in language education.
