LANGUAGES IN THE CURRICULUM In an all-through school such as King’s we have the benefit of being able to start teaching Modern Languages to children at a young age. In Y7, which is a point at which many new pupils join the school, all pupils will learn French and Spanish. As they progress through the curriculum, they may choose to carry on both languages to GCSE or just one of them. Most pupils do at least one MFL to GCSE. Being an independent school we are able to offer sets of a manageable size. Both French and German are offered at ‘A’ level in the Sixth Form. Spanish will replace German in 2008. Classical languages are also strong at King’s. Latin is part of the core curriculum in Y8-Y9 and attracts good numbers at GCSE. The school offers both Latin and Greek to ‘A’ level. The Modern Languages department has had a very good academic record over many years. Whilst some students have used their Modern Languages experience to make successful Oxbridge applications, we also take pride in the department’s track record with lower sets at GCSE. Every other year the department takes Y7 and Y8 pupils on a week’s course in THE MODERN LANGUAGES DEPARTMENT The Modern Languages department consists of a small team of motivated teachers with high aspirations, working together to communicate their love of language to pupils of all ages and abilities.
