About Modern Foreign Languages
The intent of MFL is to promote knowledge and understanding of foreign language and culture for all. MFL incorporates a variety of engaging strategies and up to date pedagogy creating an inclusive environment, developing each student's skills and knowledge as well as instilling fun and a love of languages! Past and present opportunities have involved studying foreign language songs and films, themed personal development days, competitions, a Languages club and a foreign language magazine produced by gifted and talented students. 

KS3
In year 7, students study French. From year 8 students continue to study French and have the opportunity to learn German as well. Students who have English as an additional language, in discussion with their teacher, can look towards completing an examination in their first language where possible at KS4.
