Modern Languages allows pupils to learn French or Spanish. Our objective is to entice pupils into learning foreign languages by linking their learning to current enjoyable topics, developing their language skills of reading, writing, listening and talking as well as enhancing their communication and ICT skills. We promote a positive and supportive language environment with current resources helping to make learning a foreign language meaningful and relevant to young people’s lives and helping them to develop European and cultural awareness.
Pupils will sample a wide range of experiences and outcomes across the following skills:
- Listening and talking
- Reading
- Writing
Nowadays in our modern world, the demands of having a qualification in at least one foreign language are desirable and often an essential skill in every industry, ranging from education, travel & tourism, health, hospitality, national & international business, special forces, hospitality, government, fashion, construction, automotive, sport and many more!
