MODERN FOREIGN LANGUAGES

Learning another language provides us with the skills to:

• communicate with people in other countries
• learn about other cultures
• develop a more global outlook
• travel and experience other countries for leisure with the ability to understand and integrate
• travel and communicate effectively for business purposes
• have an enhanced skills set which is so essential in an increasingly competitive job market

We offer students the chance to study a combination of 2 of the following languages: French, German and Spanish throughout Years 7 to 8 and choose one or more as GCSE options from Year 9 onwards.

It is always useful for students to have a small bilingual dictionary at home to assist with homework tasks and additional learning, but there are also free online dictionaries available and many useful websites, which can support your child’s learning:
