All students will continue with their first language until Year 9.In Year 9 there is an opportunity for students to broaden their curriculum through a system of preference choices and they can take on a second language from French or Spanish which a gives them the opportunity of opting to study two languages at KS4. Languages are a popular choice for GCSE.
