Young Interpreters Scheme 

With the wonderful range of languages spoken by our School community, 48 Y7 pupils were keen to train as Young Interpreter Buddies with Miss Hitchens on Friday. 

Pupils completed three training sessions which explored empathising with pupils who speak English as an additional language, learning how to be a buddy for new pupils and coming up with ideas for how we can further enhance the Wellington experience for our pupils. 

All pupils involved earned a certificate and badge at ‘graduation’; what was particularly lovely though was to hear the anecdotes of how so many pupils have helped others this year as well as the hotly-contested competition in the room as to who could speak the most languages! One table could speak TEN between them!

Well done to all involved!
