MODERN FOREIGN LANGUAGES AT CRICKHOWELL HIGH SCHOOL
In Year 7 your child will begin learning French in addition to Welsh. In Year 7 all pupils are taught in mixed ability groups. There is an opportunity for able linguists to learn German in Year 9.
The Department uses a range of up-to-date and exciting resources, including the “Expo” Key Stage 3 French series and the new Michel Thomas C’est Possible” French course. In addition we make use of several web-based resources to enhance the quality of learning.
Our rooms are very well-equipped with data projectors and internet access. A variety of media including MP3 voice recorders and digital camcorders are used widely in our teaching programmes. The department has a website that may be accessed through the main school website and each teacher has an area on the school network where students can access worksheets and extra activities in three languages. Using our home access system, these resources may be studied remotely at home.
The Department consists of five well-qualified modern linguists:
- Mrs Keri Bosley- Head of MFL Department (German, French, Welsh)
- Mrs Claire Harris- Second in Department (French, German, Welsh)
- Mrs Kate Neill- MFL Teacher (French, German, Welsh)
