A knowledge of languages has become an essential life skill and so the majority of our students study at least French, up to the age of 16.

The emphasis throughout the school is on the use of MFL as a means of communication, and courses are aimed at teaching the language which students need to survive in a foreign country. Our teaching includes a variety of approaches, and is suitable for students of all abilities - enjoyment and success for our students being our main aims.
