Languages
Preparing children for life in the international community, we
begin by teaching French to all children at age 3. At this young
age children learn to tackle the language with keenness and
spontaneity.
In Year 6 the children take part in a week’s residential trip to
France. Our own staff join up with a group of French teachers to
offer the children an experience of French culture and extended
practice in speaking the language. Children visit places of
historical interest, take part in cooking lessons, art activities
and sport sessions, and visit local markets and shops where they
have the opportunity to practise their skills, all with the support
of staff.
