Modern Languages
Modern Langauges is a department within our Langauges faculty. We teach two 'modern language' subjects:
- French
- Spanish
Knowledge & skills
The curriculum has been developed from national Experiences and Outcomes, with a particular focus on reading, writing, listening and talking. Details of the specific content taught can be found at the bottom of this page.
S1-3
Students in all 3 years will have three periods of Modern Languages per week. During these 3 years, Modern Languages are an essential and mandatory part of the school curriculum.
From session 2022-23, this will comprise 2 periods of French, the first foreign language which most students will have studied during their Primary years, and 1 period of Spanish. The two languages will be taught by different teachers in an effort to reduce the likelihood of confusion.
S1-3 classes are mixed ability.
