Foreign Languages

As a Faculty we believe that knowledge of language and an understanding of other cultures is an essential part of all students’ development. Our mission is to enthuse and motivate students and help them realise the benefits and opportunities that knowledge of a foreign language can bring. As a result, Languages at Treviglas are creatively taught with a blend of contemporary resources and ICT. We are at the forefront of developing cross curricular links, so that languages are viewed by students as an integral part of their education. We are a team of enthusiastic and highly qualified teachers, complemented by our excellent French and German assistants.

From September 2011 we are pleased to announce that Spanish will be introduced into Key Stage 3 and 4, thereby offering students the chance to study 3 languages and opt for it at GCSE should they so wish. Students also enjoy pen-friend links with their peers in Europe.

Outstanding effort, contribution and attitude are recognised each term with the MFL Wall of Fame and regular communication with home; through merit postcards and letters of achievement.

Within the Faculty we enjoy a positive, cheerful and productive working environment. We realise the importance of high expectations, careful organisation, flexibility and the sharing of ideas and resources, both between members of staff and students alike.
