"If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart."
Nelson Mandela

 The MFL Department at Salendine Nook High School Academy strongly believes that learning another language raises awareness of the multilingual and multicultural world and introduces an international dimension to pupils’ learning, enabling them to better understand their own culture and those of others.

Across Key Stage Three, our schemes of work have been designed to allow pupils to progress effectively in the language whilst gaining valuable insight into the culture of countries where the target language is spoken around the world.

At Key Stage Four, we examine with Edexcel.  Pupils review topics previously studied albeit in more depth alongside essential linguistic skills allowing them to successfully access GCSE tasks.

The MFL Department also enriches pupils’ language experience by offering extra-curricular activities such as trips abroad, a foreign film club and theme days.
