The MFL department provides a dynamic, innovative and supportive environment where engaging and varied lessons enable students to realise their potential. Students use language with confidence and enjoy learning about other cultures. There are currently five full-time members and one part-time member of the languages department, with some staff also teaching in other subject areas and many in middle or senior leadership positions across the school. This makes for a breadth of expertise across school areas and a high profile among students and staff.

Students study Spanish and French in Years 7-9. From Year 10 onwards, 75% of each student cohort studies a language to GCSE, with most of those students continuing to study Spanish and French. Good numbers of students also opt to continue French and Spanish at A-level - the talent exhibited within the school around learning languages is obvious.
