Languages at Cotham School
We are proud to offer three languages at Cotham School, from Year 7 to Year 13.
German, French and Spanish are taught as a carousel in tutor groups in Year 7.
This process allows students to express their top two preferences which will lead to their year 8 language group.
In class, we are practising the four skills: reading, listening, writing and speaking.
High frequency vocabulary, grammar and phonics are three essential pillars needed to ensure progress and mastery of a language.
Home learning is THE key element to practise, memorise and acquire vocabulary. Through Seneca assignments and vocab challenges in class, the teachers encourage you to learn and revise thanks to termly knowledge organisers (you can find them at the top of this page sorted by year group and language).
