The Language Department

French continues and Latin begins in Form I with lessons reinforced in the Language Laboratory. Children in the A Set continue to learn Latin until the VI Form, whilst children in the B Sets from Form III onwards concentrate fully on French only. There are annual trips to France which have, in the past, included visits to Paris, the Loire Valley, Northern France, Bayeux and Disneyland. Our approach of learning languages from an early age ensures that children are confident and relaxed and we were delighted to hear recently that one of our students has gone onto her Senior School to pass her French GCSE with an A Grade at 14.
