6th form linguists, classicists and English students had a fascinating morning Oxford High School A Level linguistics conference this morning. Fascinating talks on a wide range of topics from AI to idioms to the revival of minority languages. Food for thought for staff and students

A busy week for the MFL department: after a very busy sixth form open evening yesterday we have now landed in Berlin with RGSHW History for the inaugural Senior German-History trip

A great first day in Berlin with RGSHW History Lots of highlights and food for thought on our walking tour and time to reflect at the Topographie des Terrors at the end of the day. Everyone now v ready for bed after an early start this morning

Day 2 in Berlin with @rgshw__history : a thought provoking tour of the Jewish museum, visit to the Flak tower at Humboldthain, lunch in the Turkish market, and fascinating Berliner Unterwelten tour of the Fichtebunker. Now for a rest back at the hostel before bowling tonight

An evening at Alexanderplatz to enjoy the city lights and discover our hidden bowling talents (or lack of them!)

A busy day of all things East Berlin with RGSHW History : DDR museum, 1848 cemetery, Bernauer Straße and the East Side Gallery

A great final day in Berlin with @rgshw__history : learning about the battle for Berlin and beautiful views from the Reichstag in glorious sunshine, before the weather turned for reflections at numerous memorials, the Invalidenfriedhof & the Kaiser Wilhelm Gedächtniskirche

Bon voyage to the Y10&12 French exchange who are off to Toulouse today 🚂🇨🇵

Nous sommes arrivés! After a long train journey, the french exchange has arrived in Toulouse. Met by exchange partners and home to bed. Bonne nuit tout le monde!

A great first day in Toulouse on the French exchange with beautiful blue skies and autumn sunshine. Walking tour of the city and the resistance museum for Y10, whilst Y12 enjoyed a visit to Colomiers rugby club.

Despite experiencing some train strikes (key french cultural experience!), Y12&13 made it to Cité de l'Espace and Y10 made it to Carcassonne to explore the castle and town today

Highlights from yesterday and today for the French exchange: Y10 spent a day in collège and had a trip to the city museum, whilst our 6th formers have got to know the city with a scavenger hunt and trip to the market

Weekend french exchange highlights: Colomiers Vs Provence rugby match, Halle des Machines and Château de Foix

And some more weekend sport watching highlights from the French exchange: Toulouse Vs PSG handball

Keep an eye on form time notices and Google classrooms this week to sign up to take part, Y9!

L6 was a hive of linguistic problem solving today at break and lunch as two fab Y9 teams got to grips with the challenges. Favourite quote of the competition so far "well this lunch I've learnt some Spanish, some Japanese and some Italian with the challenges"

A fantastic day goetheinstitut for Y9 Germanists. A reminder about why Deutsch macht Spaß, followed by a workshop learning about and designing our own German graffiti, a library scavenger hunt, and then watching the film 'Alamanya Willkommen in Deutschland'.

Who’d have thought that your school French, German or Spanish would lead to unique opportunities, enhanced experiences and broader perspectives? Those vocab lists, set phrases and role play prompts open doors. Languages exceed your expectations and take you to new destinations.

One of many certificates received this term which was jam packed with competition success in the Languagenut GCHQ and poésieae competitions, as well as the first round in the Dr Challoner's HS MFL spelling bee for Y7. All our linguists and teachers are ready for a rest now!

‘Home alone’ Christmas message. Thanks to Mr Rowe-Elliott’s creative ability for this one! Merry Christmas.
