Key Stage 3:
At Key Stage 3 we offer after school classes in Chinese Mandarin, Japanese and Farsi. In 2010 we are intending to extend our range of languages to include Arabic, French and Spanish. We also run a very successful Italian Language Lunchtime Club every Thursday between 12.40 and 13.10 in Room 19 at the Valley site.
Key Stage 4:
At Key Stage 4 we offer after school Japanese lessons; the course builds on what has been learnt at Key Stage 3 and can lead to accreditation in the language by the end of Year 11. Chinese Mandarin booster lessons for KS4 students are provided for students already studying Chinese at Key Stage 4. French GCSE is offered to students on Fridays after school.
