We believe that Modern Foreign Languages will encourage students to develop an awareness of, and a respect for languages and cultures other than their own and engender a positive attitude and mutual respect towards speakers of foreign languages. Students will also be encouraged to develop their understanding of themselves and their own culture and develop linguistic and social skills which will enable them to survive and succeed in both familiar and unfamiliar situations.
There are many departmental aims these are just a sample:
- To maintain and/or stimulate lasting curiosity, interest and enjoyment in the chosen Modern Foreign Languages.
- To enable each pupil to achieve his/her potential in a variety of situations, using all available resources appropriately.
- To develop the ability to use the chosen Modern Foreign Language effectively for purposes of practical communication.

The department has also been involved in a number of events, activities and trips.
