Modern Languages Department
Bienvenus! Bienvenidos!
In Year 7, 8 and 9 all pupils study French. Pupils in Year 9 who have shown an aptitude for French also get the opportunity to study Spanish.
The Year 10 languages are offered in the Option pools, but we strongly recommend that pupils study either French or Spanish, or

even both.
At present French is offered to GCSE, and next year we will be offering it as an ABC (NVQ) course. Spanish is offered at both GCSE level and ABC (NVQ) level.
Our results for French this year from 52 entries were 86% A* - C, and Spanish (17 entries) 100% gained A* - C. We also entered 26 pupils early in Year 10 - 100% A* - C and 46% A* - A.
We offer a five day exchange with our partner school Collège Saint Paul, Caen, for Years 7 and 8 pupils in May and June and an 8 day

exchange for Years 9 and 10 every other year. These are generally very popular!
We also offer a 5 day trip to Barcelona with a Spanish taster course for pupils in Years 9 , 10 and 11 every other year.
Our department is well
equipped with interactive whiteboards, good software, laptops and native French and Spanish speakers.
