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.
