“Creo que este es un buen colegio y como dice su lema te ayudará a alcanzar las estrellas.” “I think that this is a good school, and as its motto says, it will help you reach the stars.”
- Serena Bindra (Year 7)

Not bad for a twelve year old! A perfect reflection and endorsement of Slough Grammar’s approach: we want all of our pupils to reach the stars in their language learning, which is why we have such a well-equipped language department.

Pupils learning the key language skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing benefit from access to a huge resource which includes: books, DVDs, videos, interactive whiteboards, the Internet and a modern language resource centre. As well as learning the languages defined by the National Curriculum, pupils have the opportunity to learn Mandarin Chinese, Punjabi, Urdu and Arabic and Italian, and in year 13 students can learn Portuguese and Russian. We intend adding Japanese to the languages taught at the school. Specialist teachers are supported by native speaking Foreign Language Assistants from France, Germany, Spain and China.

With our skilled staff, modern equipment and valuable resources we are in an excellent position to prepare your child for a multi-cultural future!
