French is compulsory in years 7, 8, 9. In Year 7 the students experience Italian and Spanish. This allows students to make an informed decision at the end of Year 7 as to their choice of 2nd language. Study of the second language continues through KS3. In Year 9 students make their language option choice for Year 10.
In KS4 all students study one MFL subject but may study two. We follow the AQA specification.
At KS5 students can continue with any of their GCSE languages. French and Spanish follow the AQA specification, whilst Italian follows Edexcel specification. Results in Italian are excellent 57% achieving A*.
