Course Details:

KS4
Students study French or Spanish throughout years 7,8 and 9. Lessons allow the students to work in all 4 skill areas using a variety of engaging activities. Numerous topics are covered, enabling students to communicate at a personal level as well as being given more creative opportunities. 

Students study 3 key areas:
Identity and culture
Local, national, international and global areas of interest
Current and future study and employment
The content of the GCSE course is much more interesting and relevant for today’s teenagers.
