KS3 Modern Foreign Languages

Mrs J Marston - Curriculum Team Leader Modern Foreign Languages

How is the course assessed?

Students are assessed in one skill (listening, reading, writing, speaking) per half term in Year 7 and 8, and up to two skills per half term in Year 9. Each assessment will include ‘throw-back’ questions to previous topics, which are designed to encourage recall and consolidation of previous learning, as well as translation questions into the foreign language and/or from the foreign language into English.

The school’s mission is to ‘enable young people to achieve success’. It does this outstandingly well.
