French at Ffynone House School

At Ffynone House School, pupils study French and German at Key Stage 3 (Years 7 to 9) and they can choose to continue with one language or both at GCSE, AS and A Levels. Both French and German are taught in small groups by native speakers.

A student of French at Ffynone is given the opportunity to develop all his/her language skills, dictionary skills, experience the culture of the language studied by going on trips abroad,  watching films in a foreign language, but first and foremost by working hard. 

Trips to France are organised regularly, as foreign visits play an important part in developing language skills and provide a direct contact with the countries’ culture and society. In addition, Ffynone Film Club has started to introduce pupils to world cinema. The MFL department has quite a large selection of films in French or German subtitled in English, and range from 12 certificate to 15.
