MFL Curriculum Area Information

The languages curriculum area is a vibrant department with a longstanding history of excellence in the delivery of languages. Highcliffe School offers French and Spanish from year 7 to year 13 and students have the opportunity to study both from year 9 onwards.

The department is currently in the process of implementing EPI at Key Stage 3 and iscreating a bespoke scheme of work for our unique setting. With the introduction of the new specification for GCSE MFL, the department has made the decision to switch from Edexcel to AQA so that we are aligned with other departments in our trust. This facilitates the easier sharing of knowledge and expertise amongst schools. Students and teachers have access to Kerboodle (y10) and Active Learn (y11).

All teachers have their own classrooms with projectors and speakers and we also have two small rooms for small conversation classes. We are fortunate to have two permanent foreign language assistants who undertake small group work at KS4 and 1:1 sessions with our KS5 students.

The languages team run a number of extra-curricular activities, including a lunchtime Languages club for KS3 and a cinema club for KS4 and 5. In addition to this, we have strong links with the MFL department at the University of Southampton and regularly run or attend workshops with their outreach department.
