Not bad for a Year 7 pupil! We can help you become good at languages during your time at Slough Grammar School - we’re experts. 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.

Learning the key language skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing will be made easier for you by the excellent resources we have. These include: books, DVDs, videos, interactive whiteboards, the Internet and a fully equipped modern language resource centre.

As well as learning the languages that the National Curriculum says you’ll have to cover, you will have the opportunity to learn Mandarin Chinese, Punjabi, Urdu and Arabic and Italian. If you decide to stay on at sixth form level you could also consider learning Portuguese or Russian (and by the time you read this we may have added a new course in Japanese!). Specialist teachers are supported by native speaking Foreign Language Assistants from France, Germany, Spain and China.

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