All students learn French in Year 7. Many will have done lots of French in primary school, whereas others will have done very little or none. We cater for all students and will build on any foundations made in primary school. Those students who excel in French in Year 7 will have the opportunity to pick up Spanish as a second language in Year 8. Students can then choose to study one or two languages at GCSE level in Year 10.
