Year 8 Curriculum Options 2023-2024

Year 7 students will opt for either French or Spanish in Year 8 and have lessons in their chosen language. Students have previously reduced to one language in Year 9 – we are extending this choice into Year 8.

The new curriculum model provides more time to develop confidence and improve attainment that can support GCSE success. Focusing on one language will be beneficial as it allows students to develop further the skills and knowledge required to succeed in French or Spanish, which we hope they will choose to study as a GCSE.

We are not able to offer after-school sessions at this time. Previously, less than 2% of students have opted for two language GCSEs. This is due to the range of new subjects available in KS4.

Should you wish to discuss this process further, please do not hesitate to contact us:
