Modern Languages

 Our aim is to enable pupils to communicate at their own level in the foreign language they are studying. They will be given experience of the four skills of language learning - speaking, listening, reading and writing. We hope to encourage an interest in the culture of other countries and to motivate pupils to continue with language learning beyond the compulsory stage. We aim to provide a happy, safe and enjoyable atmosphere where pupils can acheive their potential.
