The Languages curriculum aims to give our students the opportunity to acquire new knowledge, skills and ways of thinking through the ability to understand and respond to a rich range of authentic spoken and written material including literary texts. We encourage our students to be enthusiastic, engaged and challenged by embracing the richness and the diversity of different cultures through research, conceptual understanding tasks, and trips abroad.
