Language Ambassadors
Meet Our New Language Ambassadors for 2025/2026!
We’re proud to introduce our brand new Language Ambassadors at Countess Gytha
These enthusiastic pupils have been chosen from across upper KS2 to help celebrate and promote the joy of language learning. Whether it's supporting classmates in lessons, helping with language-themed events, or encouraging everyone to use new words and phrases from around the world, our ambassadors are ready to lead the way!
What do our Language Ambassadors do?
Our ambassadors will:
-
Champion the importance of learning languages
-
Encourage the use of greetings in different languages around school
-
Help with international projects and pen-pal letters
-
Support pronunciation and vocabulary games in class
-
Take part in special events like European Day of Languages and International Week
-
Share fun facts and language tips in assemblies and displays
This is a fantastic leadership opportunity for our pupils, and a great way to build confidence, communication skills, and global awareness.
We’re very excited to see the positive impact they’ll have across the school. Congratulations to our new Language Ambassadors — you're already doing a brilliant job!

Welcome to our Language Learning Page 2024
This page is led by our Language Ambassadors.
Countess Gytha Primary have 4 Language Ambassadors at present. They are very busy helping to promote and celebrate languages around our school.
This term, our Language Ambassadors have been busy finding out how many languages are spoken in our school. Did you know that there are over 6 languages spoken in our school community?
It is important that we show respect for each other’s languages and cultures by celebrating and learning more about them.
Our ambassadors have compiled a list of languages they would like to challenge classmates and their families to learn and research each month. They have carefully linked each language to a special celebration happening around the world at that time.
In celebration of our enjoyment of our French lessons in KS2, the language ambassadors have chosen French as our language of the month!
