Community Languages

At TEMA, we proudly celebrate the incredible linguistic diversity of our community, with over 62 languages spoken by staff and students.

We support students who speak another language to take a GCSE in their home language, offering guidance through TEMA staff or external partners. This opportunity is entirely the student’s choice, and we provide as much support as possible.

We believe all students should have the skills and qualifications to pursue fulfilling careers, contribute to their communities, and thrive as global citizens. Students can complete GCSE exams in the following languages: Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, French, German, Greek, Gujarati, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Panjabi, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Turkish, and Urdu.
