Students study 3 core themes:

1. Identify and culture

2. Local, national, international and global areas of interest

3. Current and future study and employment.

The Modern Languages Department offers courses in French, and you will continue the language you started in Year 7 and study it to GCSE level. Students who can offer a foreign language will always impress all employers. Grammar is a very important part of the course and is delivered according to ability. Students will definitely need to understand present, past and future tenses, express opinions and give justifications. High frequency vocabulary is also essential to all elements of the examination, and regular vocabulary tests will help encourage students to learn vocabulary throughout the course.
