Arabic

Salem Aleykum! In October 2008 Hove Park was awarded a small bursary to support the development of Arabic teaching alongside our supplementary school, the Coptic Sudanese Arabic Society which runs Arabic classes on a Saturday at the Nevill site. As a result teachers from the Arabic school have been sharing good practice with Hove Park language teachers through peer-observations, ICT training and sharing resources. The profile of Arabic is also increasing at the school with 10 students from Years 10, 11 and 12 taking their GCSE Arabic this year. Year 7 students will also benefit from having Arabic taster sessions at the beginning of the Summer Term. For more information on learning Arabic please contact Ms Stenning @ cstenning@hovepark.org.uk.
