Intent
Students are curious and open-minded about other cultures and have the skills and resilience to communicate in a foreign language.
The MFL department gives students at Bradfield School the opportunity to enhance their communication skills, linguistic understanding, and cultural openness through studying French. Students will leave us with speaking, listening, reading, writing, and translation skills, as well as an enhanced understanding of France and the Francophone world.
All students study French. Current Y10 and Y11 have been offered Spanish, but this is now a legacy subject and will not be offered from September 2025.
