Whether we are teaching Fourth Form beginners (Year 9) or an A-level or IB group, we aim to stimulate within our pupils a love of language learning and foreign cultures in general. Our approach includes outside lectures, visits to see films, plays, exhibitions, as well as trips abroad. There are language societies, including MFL debating societies and interschool competitions for Sixth Form and Year 10 pupils, who organise activities and events throughout the year.
