Language College
As a Specialist Language College, students have benefited from such things as classes with British Airways (regularly using their training centre), visits to the Japanese Embassy, visits to the French Theatre and participation in Language Study Conferences. new links are being developed in China, South America and Africa.
In addition the school provides French teaching in eight Primary Schools and is currently working with the London Borough of Ealing to increase this provision. It provides after school classes, free of charge, in Gujarati and Punjabi for school-aged children in the Borough. The adult evening Spanish classes are always popular and very successful. A variety of languages are offered within the school: Spanish, French, German, Punjabi, Japanese, Gujarati (after school) and Chinese. There are a variety of assessment and accreditation opportunities, not just GCSE. The “Certificate in Business Language Competence” has proved very successful amongst Advanced Vocational Business students in the Sixth Form.

Famous quotes containing the words language and/or college:
“Strange goings on! Jones did it slowly, deliberately, in the bathroom, with a knife, at midnight. What he did was butter a piece of toast. We are too familiar with the language of action to notice at first an anomaly: the ‘it’ of ‘Jones did it slowly, deliberately,...’ seems to refer to some entity, presumably an action, that is then characterized in a number of ways.”
—Donald Davidson (b. 1917)
“[B]y going to the College [William and Mary] I shall get a more universal Acquaintance, which may hereafter be serviceable to me; and I suppose I can pursue my Studies in the Greek and Latin as well there as here, and likewise learn something of the Mathematics.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
