Sanskrit

Sanskrit is the root of almost all eastern and western languages. It is as close as we can get to an essential language that contains divine concepts.

Pupils will learn the basics of the spoken and written language at primary level which we know will prepares them for learning new languages at secondary school. In teaching Sanskrit at primary school, we hope to instil a love of world languages in our children, engaging them to explore the histories of different cultures through a rich and diverse library of texts.
