Celebrating Language Learning
To celebrate European Day of Languages, the MFL department ran a Duolingo Competition. We had over 70 students take part in the competition and even 10 teachers!
Congratulations to Charlotte (1st), Scarlett (2nd), Josh (3rd) and all students that took part. Congratulations as well to all our teachers that took part! Well done to Mrs Hammond (1st), Mrs Jones (2nd) and Miss Retzepter (3rd).
It is always so encouraging to see people enthusiastic about using languages outside the classroom! Watch out later on in the year for our next Duolingo Competition...

Outstanding Results
The MFL Department are also celebrating record breaking GCSE outcomes. We enter far more children for either French and German than most state schools and the quality of our teaching and learning has led to great results:
French: 28.7% of students achieved grade 7 - 9 with 88.5% achieving grades 4 - 9. This is a 10% increase on last year's outcomes and exceeds outcomes in other schools locally and nationally.
German: is also on an upward trajectory. 18.8% students achieving grade 7 - 9 with 73.4% achieving grades 4 - 9.
