A group of Year 10 and Year 11 French students recently enjoyed an exciting visit to St Dominic's Sixth Form College, where they took part in a French taster lesson. The girls represented the school brilliantly and returned feeling motivated and excited about their future language learning journeys.

Throughout the session, they engaged enthusiastically with a range of tasks, challenging themselves to use their language skills in a new learning environment. They thoroughly enjoyed the experience and were inspired by the passion and expertise of the French teacher, Mr Hoey. The visit helped them to see how language learning can continue beyond GCSE and complemented the work currently taking place in our weekly Bridge to A-Level French Club, where Year 11 students develop the skills needed for a successful transition at A Level.

A big thank you to Ms Lopes, who organised the trip, and to St Dominic's Sixth Form College for hosting our students and providing such an engaging and informative experience.

We look forward to continuing to inspire our students to pursue languages beyond GCSE and embrace the opportunities that multilingualism can offer.
