Languages Week 2025
Pupils enjoyed a brilliant Languages Week, celebrating languages in many different ways.
Senior 11, Senior 9 and Sixth Form linguists attended an interesting talk from a Premier League and UN interpreter, who shared insights into his language-learning journey. Assemblies during the week explored the impact of AI on language learning and there were memorable performances in the Ibstock Eurovision, won by Lili (Senior 9) and Tim (Senior 7), representing Poland. In the House Maths and Languages Competition, Brearley House took first place, while pupils learning Mandarin visited the British Museum and later interviewed Chinese-speaking passers-by in Chinatown. Senior 7 pupils enjoyed following foreign language clues in a special treasure hunt and the week ended with a tasty languages-themed lunch.
