Yr 9 day trip to Boulogne

In September, 90 Yr 9 students got the opportunity to go to France for the day. We travelled by coach and Eurotunnel. We visited Nausicaa, a sea life centre with a 4D cinema, we then had a picnic on the beach and ended the day in Auchan where we managed to do some shopping. Check our video of our day out!

Bonne rentrée

Let's start the year by refreshing our memories with some simple French phrases. The following discussion was done by a Yr 8 class. I have now added the captions so that you can hear the French and also read it. Enjoy et bonne rentrée!

Bonne chance pour vos resultats

In 2012 the French department achieved a very pleasing 70% A*-C pass rate. Fingers crossed the results this year will show the hard work of our students and dedicated staff. Bonne chance les filles :-)
