Did you know that to speak a foreign language is a valuable skill that many employers hold in high regard so it might just improve your employment prospects!!
Surprising maybe but true. By learning a foreign language such as French you really do begin to think about how you express yourself even in English and of course you improve your reading, listening, speaking and writing skills. For example you will improve both your word power and dictionary skills all of which will help you in your other subject areas.
Make new contacts by using e-mail and appreciate other cultures.
How is French assessed?
We offer the GCSE Modular French course.
GCSE Modular French
The key word here is modular and it simply means we learn step by step. After each module is completed you will receive points and these points transfer into GCSE grades. You can keep a running total of your points at any time and therefore you always know what you have and what you need. It is a good system and pupils like it because the work is well spread out.
