--- title: "Year 8 Languages Trip" url: "https://thewestleighschool.co.uk/students/Enrichment/year-8-languages-trip" school: "The Westleigh School" --- # Year 8 Languages Trip ![](https://thewestleighschool.co.uk/images/IMG_4186.JPG) There’s a world of languages out there. That’s what Mrs Miller’s and Mrs Michalakakos’s students discovered when they visited The University of Manchester. The special event, called ‘Viva Languages’, showed students where studying a language could lead them in the future. They met final-year university students studying not only European languages, but also Japanese, Russian and Mandarin, and took part in a range of exciting workshops. Language teacher Mrs Miller said: > “It was a really enjoyable day for everyone. As always, the students rose to the challenge and participated fully in all of the day’s activities. We were also lucky enough to enjoy beautiful sunshine during our visit to the central campus, and the students were very impressed by the facilities. The team of student ambassadors from the University were extremely friendly and supportive throughout the day, and we hope to take part in future events with them.” ### Curriculum - [Curriculum Intent](https://thewestleighschool.co.uk/curriculum) - [Teaching & Learning](https://thewestleighschool.co.uk/curriculum/teaching-learning-new) - [Subjects](https://thewestleighschool.co.uk/curriculum/subjects) - [Reading](https://thewestleighschool.co.uk/reading) - Careers - [Our Career Offer](https://thewestleighschool.co.uk/careers) - [Careers Adviser](https://thewestleighschool.co.uk/careers/careers-adviser) - [Information for Students](https://thewestleighschool.co.uk/careers/students) - [Guided Choices](https://thewestleighschool.co.uk/curriculum/guidedchoices) - [Enrichment](https://thewestleighschool.co.uk/students/Enrichment) - [Westleigh Edge](https://thewestleighschool.co.uk/students/Enrichment/westleigh-edge) - [Enrichment Week](https://thewestleighschool.co.uk/students/Enrichment/enrichmentweek) - [Y7 Residential](https://thewestleighschool.co.uk/students/Enrichment/year-7-residential) - [Y8 Languages Trip](https://thewestleighschool.co.uk/students/Enrichment/year-8-languages-trip) - [Y9 Forensic Masterclass](https://thewestleighschool.co.uk/students/Enrichment/year-9-forensic-masterclass) - [Y10 Drama Trip](https://thewestleighschool.co.uk/students/Enrichment/year-10-drama-trip) - [Y10 France Trip](https://thewestleighschool.co.uk/students/Enrichment/year-10-france-trip) - [Westleigh Showcase](https://thewestleighschool.co.uk/talent) - [Diversity Week](https://thewestleighschool.co.uk/students/Enrichment/school-diversity-week) - [Easter Eggstravaganza](https://thewestleighschool.co.uk/students/Enrichment/easter-eggsravaganza) - [Christmas Dinners](https://thewestleighschool.co.uk/students/Enrichment/christmas-dinners) - [Science Enrichment](https://thewestleighschool.co.uk/curriculum/subjects/science-enrichment) - [Ski Trip](https://thewestleighschool.co.uk/ski) - ![We are a nut-free school](https://files.schudio.com/westleigh-high/images/partners/Nut_Free_School.png) - [![Shaw Education Trust](https://files.schudio.com/westleigh-high/images/partners/Shaw_Education_Trust_-_CMYK_Logo_on_Light_-_010721_SMALL(1).png)](http://www.shaw-education.org.uk/) - ![Safeguarding Standard](https://files.schudio.com/westleigh-high/images/partners/Safeguarding-Standard(1).png) - [![CEOP Report](https://files.schudio.com/westleigh-high/images/partners/reporttoceop.jpg)](https://www.ceop.police.uk/ceop-reporting/) - ![Disclaimer](https://files.schudio.com/westleigh-high/images/partners/disclaimer3.png) [Embedded content](https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d2372.408505190141!2d-2.531707922820416!3d53.5147608621084!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x487b07b56bf718a3%3A0xee805cdf56b0b85c!2sThe%20Westleigh%20School!5e0!3m2!1sen!2suk!4v1685615514945!5m2!1sen!2suk) ![The Westleigh School](https://files.schudio.com/westleigh-high/images/logo/wlhs-final-school-logo-horizontal-2022-CSp-large_-ofsted.png) **The Westleigh School** Westleigh Lane Leigh WN7 5NL Tel: 01942 202 580 Email: [![Shaw Education Trust](https://files.schudio.com/shaw-education-trust-2/images/logo/set-misc/footer-logo-v1.png)](https://shaw-education.org.uk) **Shaw Education Trust** Kidsgrove Secondary School Gloucester Road Kidsgrove ST7 4DL VAT: GB 358822467 Tel: 01782 948259 Email: Company Number: 09067175 ### Staff Links - [Arbor](https://the-westleigh-school.uk.arbor.sc/) - [Outlook 365](https://outlook.office365.com) - [School Cloud](https://westleigh.schoolcloud.co.uk/Auth/Teacher) - [Remote Access](https://westleighremote.shaw-education.org.uk/RDWeb/Pages/en-US/Default.aspx) - [IT Helpdesk](http://srvweb/portal) - [SISRA Analytics ](https://www.sisraanalytics.co.uk/) - [Student Wellbeing Concern](https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=48aZkktFFECRk1vXiMa8-szV8iaaRgxKjK6_Z-olMT1UMEVDUjBOTkJVMjJDMU5aM0g5WVhCUjFZUi4u) - [Union Provision](https://thewestleighschool.co.uk/union-provision) ### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/thewestleighschool/) - [Youtube](https://www.youtube.com/@TheWestleighSchool) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/thewestleighschool/) © Copyright 2015–2026 The Westleigh School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://thewestleighschool.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/) ![](https://files.schudio.com/westleigh-high/images/splash/Website_Pop_Up.png)
