Modern Foreign Languages

All students in year 7 study French, Spanish or German for two hours per week.In year 9, the lessons will increase to 5 hours per fortnight. All students will continue to study their foreign language to GCSE level

The curriculum is enriched by several cultural experiences offered to students throughout KS3, such as an annual day-trip to Boulogne-Sur-Mer in France and a trip to the Christmas Markets in Lille. We also have a long standing link with a school in Murcia, Spain with whom we have had several residential exchange visits.

Students have the opportunity to attend after school language clubs with the foreign language assistants where they can improve and further enhance their language skills at the same time as having fun and learning about different cultures.
