We’re passionate about learning languages at Northbourne Park. For many years we have had close links with families and schools in France and Spain and welcome many bilingual children into the school.

Children learn French from the day that they start with us in the nursery and learn Spanish from Year 5 (10 years old). Languages are taught exclusively by French and Spanish nationals. The older children take part in a school exchange programme from Year 6 when they are welcomed into French families and they are welcomed into ours – all helping to develop the children’s oral French skills.

We also have two year groups of French and Spanish children who join us as part of our Classes Francaises Much of the chatter in the corridors is in a multitude of languages and the children all get to share experiences of life in England as well as France and Spain.
