Languages

Here's a bit of information on Languages in the Senior School.

As you already know, you have French and Arabic+ (Is that what it's called or is it something else?). However, it doesn't work like that in the Senior School.

[Quick note though, if you are a native Arabic student, you will do Arabic in language lessons as normal. So you don't need to worry, and can forget about this post completely! 👍]

In Year 7 you have a choice between French and Spanish. However, for the first term you will do French with your form class. Then, for a couple of weeks, you'll try out Spanish (a trial). 

In term 2, you'll have the choice...French or Spanish or, even both. However, for both you had to have gotten an A in French, because it's very difficult. Choose wisely, because you do these languages till Year 11.  If you choose to do both, you will have it split up between your language lessons, or may have to do early morning French (before school starts).

Once you've chosen what language you're doing, you wont be having language lessons with your form class. You will be separated into sets, depending on your Term 1 exam results and overall level, so everyone will be working on the same things.
