GCHQ National Language Competition
03 November 2025GCHQ, one of the UK’s intelligence agencies, is running its annual National Language Competition (NLC) from 17th-21st November 2025 for Year 9 students.
You need to be in a team of up to four. Over the course of five days, teams will compete to score points by tackling a variety of fun, immersive, language-themed challenges of varying difficulty levels hosted on a virtual platform.
No prior knowledge is required, only a keenness for languages.
The winning team with the most points at the end of the competition will be invited to GCHQ’s Headquarters in Cheltenham, to be presented with their trophy!
