Mentors

"Our trip to Berlin has been one of the most beneficial trips I have ever been on - it also fuelled my interest in learning German tenfold. I enjoyed having the responsibility of looking after the Year Six students as I have never had a responsibility like that before. I found it more encouraging to want to continue German next year and thereafter."
Izora, year 11

"I found the Berlin trip and being a mentor incredible. Teaching the children German really helped my language skills and has made me interested in looking in to studying German in the future."
Aoife, year 11
