Languages

"To learn a foreign language is to see the world anew. You are as many people as the languages you speak."

In most careers nowadays language abilities are highly valued and there is a particular shortage of people with languages in Engineering and Finance. A GCSE in a language will make you more employable.

We believe passionately that language learning is vital to provide our pupils with the best opportunities to succeed in the modern world. The recent introduction of the English Baccalaureate has resulted in many universities stating that they will give preference to applicants with a GCSE in a language.
