We welcomed 120 pupils to our schools to celebrate the GDST MFL festival on 7 March 2024! One of the strengths of being with GDST schools is creating opportunities for pupils to engage with a wider community. Language is a beautiful means of communication, allowing us to understand different cultures and connect with others on a deeper level.

We began the day by listening to the keynote speaker, Jorge Garrizis the founder of Romancero books, Spanish language books and poetry, who shared his love for Spanish and how he promotes Spanish literature in England and helps Hispanic authors to get their work translated in English. The pupils then participated in various activities, from spelling bee competitions to poem recitals and literary texts. It was truly a fun and engaging way to incorporate foreign languages into the mix.

Congratulations to Bromley High for being the overall winner, and well done to our Year 10 students for winning the very dramatic role-play of the day!
