The French department is housed in three specialist teaching rooms, each boasting full internet with interactive whiteboards and projectors. The subscriptions to linguascope.co.uk and Kerboodle offer superb resources used for key stage 3 and the examination courses. In addition, there is ample access to other IT facilities enabling oral and listening work to be practised. Each member of the French department is highly experienced, two of whom are French Nationals.
At Key Stage 3, pupils study a wide variety of topics which prepare them for GCSE French, which remains a popular option amongst all students.
The GCSE course followed is that of the AQA 4655 specification.
