Languages

The Modern Foreign Language Area at Steyning Grammar School aims to:-

• Develop each student’s ability to use the target language for practical communication.
• Instil positive attitudes to foreign language learning.
• Develop a strong empathy and passion for the culture of countries in which the target language is spoken
• Provide intellectual challenge and stimulation and foster real enjoyment of language learning.

Courses

All students in Years 7 and 8 study one language – either French, German or Spanish – for the whole of Key Stage 3.  We offer GCSE courses in French, German and Spanish.

In the Sixth Form students can study French, German and Spanish to both AS and A2 level.

Staff

The Languages Curriculum area has seven full-time and two part-time members of staff, all of whom are subject specialists.

There are also part-time assistants for French, German and Spanish.  These specialise in developing speaking skills with the Sixth Form students.
