Adur Languages Hub -Developing German Skills

Hove Park School • Nov 06, 2023

Today, we had visitors in school supporting our German studies. The poet and polyglot Sophie Lau worked with Year 9 students of German on a poem written and delivered by a famous German singer, Julia Englemann. The workshops developed translation skills with students putting their skills into practice writing their own poems.


The visit also included drop-ins into classes by Pauline Wick of the  Goethe-Institut London. This work with the Goethe Institut is core to the aims of our Adur Language Hub, aiming to promote the positive aspects of language acquisition in school and to promote German as a language key to business and career possibilities.

We are delighted to announce that Hove Park School has been selected as one of only 15 schools nationally to have achieved the prestigious role as lead Languages Hub school for the National Consortium for Languages Education (NCLE). There was a highly competitive process during the end of the summer term ending in a final endorsement of the selected schools by the DfE. The focus will be to support a network of schools in the area and address the most important educational imperatives as the country works to meet the aspirations of a Global Britain. The key aims of the Languages Hubs will be: encourage high quality language teaching in schools increase languages uptake at GCSE support levelling up opportunities for disadvantaged pupils address the performance of boys better recognise and support the rich diversity of languages in addition to English spoken by one in every five of our pupils. Hove Park has a strong track record of commitment to languages, home languages, equalities and cultural richness and this new national role with partners at primary, secondary and sixth form in our area will enable us to develop what we do best. At the core of our successful bid was communicating our celebration of our rich and diverse ethnic and cultural heritage and the numerous opportunities to travel and learn from other cultures across Europe and the world. We are a school that encourages the exploration and aspiration for learning different languages, meeting different people and experiencing different places. Our strong links with schools and students in all the languages we teach and our innovative use of digital technologies have enabled immersive projects which have deepened cultural understanding and supported language learning. We have partnerships with German, South American, Spanish, French and Chinese schools. We are one of the few state schools with the Confucius Classroom Award and currently have over 60 students aiming to acquire a near fluent level of Chinese, as part of the Mandarin Excellence Programme. We feel proud to have been selected for this important collaborative mission with all the other schools and the organisation listed below at the heart of this 3-year adventure.

This year Hove Park School are celebrating another set of excellent GCSE results! The staff at the school would like to congratulate our students for the hard work that has seen so many achieve success in their GCSEs. They can now celebrate gaining the qualifications that will take them on to the next stage of their education at sixth form or college! Once again, the exam results of students at Hove Park School are above the national average, with 71% of all grades marked as passes at grade 4 and above, compared to 68% nationally. The proportion of top grades at Hove Park is also above the national average, with 23% marked as grade 7 or above, compared with 22% nationally. Head teacher Jim Roberts praised the hard work of both the students and staff. He said: ‘I am very proud of the students and their achievements. The discussion about falling GCSE pass rates across the country as a whole should not distract us from acknowledging and celebrating their success. These results are a true reflection of student commitment to their studies and high-quality teaching. We wish them all the very best and look forward to hearing about all their future successes’ Brighton and Hove Secondary Headteachers are jointly celebrating the achievements of our students. ‘Schools have worked in partnership, closely and collaboratively, to ensure that every child in our city has access to a good education and is able to make strong progress. We take collective responsibility for a set of exams results that reflect great levels of attainment and achievement across all schools in Brighton and Hove. Today’s results reflect the hard work and tenacity of a fantastic group of students, and an unerring commitment from all schools to joint practice development and partnership for the benefit of every young person in our city. We are extremely proud of the ‘Class of 2023' and wish them all the very best for the future.’
