At St. Patrick's, all students study French in Year 8. At the end of Year 8, students choose two languages from French, Irish and Spanish which they will continue to study up to the end of Year 10. In the Junior School, all students are allocated three periods of French language per week. We currently use the Expo series to deliver French at Key Stage 3 as well as blended learning resources to teach grammar and structures.
Students currently follow the Heinemann Expo 1 and Expo 2 Rouge textbooks and workbooks and will use the CGP KS3 French Revision Guide.
