We have been twinned in France with the Collège Armand Latour in Aspet, near Toulouse and with Jeronimo Zurita, Zaragoza, in north-eastern Spain. It is our hope to further extend these partnerships in the future.

Pupils involved have been motivated and excited to exchange letters with their new found foreign friends!

Open afternoon

Year 9 put their knowledge into practice during Open Afternoon in October 2008. The Language Department organised a series of role plays for the girls to take part in, which they did with great enthusiasm and success.
