Family Language Classes

Another key feature of our community provision is the range of Family Language Classes on Saturday mornings which include Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish. Adult language classes as well as family classes are all offered at unbeatable prices, most of them on a weekly pay-as-you-learn basis. Courses are FREE to WHP Trust students. For further information on the courses on offer please see below. There are also after school classes for primary pupils on Tuesdays in Chinese, French, Latin, Spanish and Urdu.

Benefits to Students

Benefits to Students

Although the Language College is based on the Alderman White site, all WHP Trust students can benefit from the many international opportunities offered by this exciting and increasingly rare speciality. These include a wide range of international initiatives which make the education of WHP students truly distinctive and develop both their interpersonal and intercultural skills which are essential for success in an increasingly global economy.

Here are just some of the many international activities and events that have taken place in the last few years:-

• Exchange visits to Germany - our famous German Exchange with the Stadtisches Gymnasium in Gütersloh has been running for more than 30 years. A recent German Exchange attracted record number of students.
• An annual trip to Paris incorporating Disneyland Paris for KS3 students.
• An annual trip to Madrid for all KS3/4 students.
• An annual trip to Cologne including Phantasialand for all WHP students.
• Special Language events organized in conjunction with the University of Nottingham.
• International Days.
• Drama performances in foreign languages.
• After school classes in Latin.
