French Department
The Modern Foreign Languages Department aims to provide a high quality, balanced curriculum which allows all pupils to achieve to the best of their ability and which enables pupils to have covered the skills necessary for them to use language in a real context. Spanish is taught as taster sessions throughout Key Stage 3 and is an option for GCSE along with French. French is offered at AS and Advanced level.
The Key Stage 3 schemes of work have recently been rewritten in order to create a ‘virtual journey’ to the chosen country. As an additional motivatory factor, the department has implemented certification of Asset languages at the end of year nine for students.
The Department aims to offer opportunities for students to have the knowledge and ownership of the language skills necessary to express themselves and show understanding of the tools needed to be confident and eloquent in the world of work.
Students will cover a wide range of skills in lessons. These include team work, listening, reasoning, time management, problem solving, taking risks, questioning, decision making, communication and collaboration.
The Modern Foreign Languages Department currently comprises of 3 members of staff:
Mrs Joanne Ennis Leader of Learning MFL
Miss Tracey Mein Teacher of French
Sarah Chene Foreign Language Assistant
The classrooms are fully equipped with Interactive Smartboards. Lessons are fun and interactive and cover range of teaching and learning styles to suit the needs of all learners. The library has recently been restocked with modern, relevant French books to encourage independent reading.
