French Department
Welcome to the French Department.
Key Stage 3
Currently all pupils in Years 8 – 10 have a timetable allocation of two 40/45 minute sessions of French per week.
During this time we follow the Northern Ireland Revised Curriculum, giving pupils opportunities to develop as individuals, as contributors to society and as contributors to the economy and the environment.
We employ a wide variety of teaching strategies and resources endeavouring to cater for the pupils’ individual learning styles. We seek to develop the pupils’ competence in the four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing across a wide range of topics which include family life, hobbies and interests, school life, food, shopping and the environment.
AQA – GCSE
