The MFL department…
In Year 7 students currently take one MFL, either French or German. A second MFL is added for most students in Y8 and this is when Spanish is introduced.
In Year 9 all pupils continue with the MFL of their choice and a good number choose to do both.
All language classes in KS3 are mixed-ability.
Although a foreign language remains optional at KS4, students who are able to are strongly encouraged to take MFL to GCSE, which means the school have healthy numbers with 9 teaching groups in Years 10 and 11.
They follow the AQA course and the examination results at GCSE are well above those nationally.
A level courses in French, German and Spanish follow the new AQA syllabus. Again, results are good.
The departmental office has working space for all and a suite of six specialist classrooms, all equipped with data projectors, connected to a desktop PC, which facilitates lesson delivery via Google Slides and the use of DVD and Internet resources.
They also have 32 Chrome laptop computers, which can be booked for use in any classroom.
The Department is particularly proud of its extra-curricular provision. They have thriving exchange links with schools in France, Germany and Spain and KS5 students are able to participate in a programme of European Work Experience. They also run clubs in Latin and Italian.
