Language College Status
|
Language College status has played a key role in raising achievement throughout the school
and community. A wide range of multimedia resources and invaluable educational
experiences give our students the academic and social skills which enable them to move
freely and productively beyond the boundaries of their own community.
|
|
We promote a learning culture which is international,
enterprising, technological and vocational. We believe
in languages for life and languages for all.
Your child will benefit greatly from Ponteland Community
High School being a Centre of Excellence for language
teaching and learning.
As a student, there will be every opportunity to fulfil
potential and enjoy learning to the full. We aim to give
all our students a love of languages which will carry
them forward into their working lives.
|
French, German and Spanish are studied to a high level
in an atmosphere of fun and enjoyment through our many
and varied resources such as:
- The latest software in our state-of-the-art Language Suite
- The most up-to-date language texts, tapes and videos
- Interactive whiteboards in language classrooms with the best software available
- Video-conferencing with France, Germany and Spain.

|
Your child will also benefit greatly from our vast range of international activities for which we have
twice been granted the 'International School Award'. Languages and all subjects have been
brought to life through:
- Trips to China and Mandarin Chinese lessons
- Trips and exchanges to Germany, Spain, France and many other European countries
- Geography expeditions and field trips to Morocco, Iceland, Kenya and Switzerland
- Art trips to the major European capitals
- Business, Leisure and Tourism trips to Paris
