On Tuesday 10th July the Modern Foreign Languages Department had a visit from Oriel College at Oxford University. We were visited by a graduate who did a taster lesson on Ancient Greek and Latin for talented Year 9 GCSE linguists.

By the end of the session, students were able to read extracts in these languages and they really enjoyed seeing a different side to their normal language learning in school. The session enthused students and made them realise the numerous potential careers available through knowing different languages.

We hope to have Oxford University visit the department again in the future to talk to students about studying languages at university.
