Specialism Success

Parent Consultation Day

The Languages Department is celebrating more University entrance success this year; all of our Year 13 linguists have secured places at various establishments to continue their language studies. Ellie Wade will study Linguistics and Spanish, Kelly Mbouala will study French and Business and Emily Rafferty has opted to do a prestigious Liberal Arts course, through which she can study French. These successes are a real testament not only to our language teaching across all Key Stages, but to the students themselves for showing the resilience, the dedication and the passion it takes to succeed in advanced study of languages. These students are now part of the long-standing All Hallows Languages Department tradition of students continuing their language study beyond A Level. Congratulations to all!
