A London school whose pupils speak 65 different
languages between them is hoping to teach subjects
in each child's mother tongue. Teachers at White
Hart Lane School are being encouraged to learn at
least one other foreign language for lessons like
maths and science. Headteacher David Daniels, who
is learning Somali and Albanian, says it will help
foreign pupils settle into the curriculum while
they learn English.
