Gumley has been awarded Language Specialist Status

Language Colleges raise standards of achievement and the quality of teaching and learning in modern foreign languages for all pupils using this as a catalyst for whole school improvement.

This means that we are increasingly becoming active partners in a learning society with our local family of schools, colleges, higher education institutions, business and our community, sharing resources and developing and sharing good practice. We aim to help our students to progress from primary language learning through to lifelong learning.

Language Colleges play a key role in supporting the National Languages Strategy, which aims to transform the country’s capability in languages, encouraging “languages for life” and “languages for all”.
