  Our MFL department nurtures a love for languages for our students by focussing on Hispanic culture and a Conti EPI instruction method that promotes use of target language and successful production through chunking. The team has a positive outreach with the community with weekly support from local native speakers delivering conversation sessions to KS4 as well as strong connections with other MFL teams to collaborate on visits and events. We focus on building confidence and are passionate about empowering our pupils to use their language to communicate and connect with the wider world. We enrich the lives of our pupils through challenge, extracurricular activities and a well-planned curriculum carefully interwoven to encourage retrieval, progress and success.
