Year 8 and 9 students at West Hatch High School have been encouraged to consider studying Languages at GCSE and University by attending a taster day at Downing College, Cambridge.

Students had a general talk about languages and experienced taster lessons in French, Arabic and Japanese.

The day was a great success and hugely inspiring for the students. 

Languages specialist Ms Aimee Rodway said: "It was lovely to see the students so passionate about languages and wanting to start learning even more."

Year 8 student Charlotte Kent said: "It was fun to learn new languages that we don't often hear about and speak to students from Cambridge University."
