Modern foreign languages
Our vision…
Our aim is to develop a passion for foreign language learning amongst pupils of all abilities by using a wide range of resources and technologies to meet the needs of each individual. With the importance of the global economy, we are determined that our students will leave us as 21st century global citizens, interested in other cultures and relishing the opportunities to communicate in another language.
