Welcome!

Willkommen!

Bonjour!

An
international greeting to you all from the teachers in the Modern
Foreign Languages Department at
Sherburn High School.
Learning another language broadens the mind,
giving an insight into other cultures and helps us understand
the workings of our
own language.
Language learning opens up opportunities for our young people,
allowing them to experience different ways of thinking and
providing them with an additional skill in the jobs market.
As we can testify, it allows you to travel and make long-lasting
friendships.
Languages offer so much to the curriculum, playing an important
role in numeracy, literacy and citizenship.
We are proud of our contribution to the objective of producing
well-rounded students, capable of taking their place in society
at home and abroad.

Students study
either French or German in Year 7 and the more able have the opportunity
to study a second language in Years 8 & 9.
At GSCE we offer both French and German and are examining Vocational
GCSEs which include a language option. Conversational Spanish is
also available as a non-GCSE.
Post
16 courses include AS and A2 French and German. As the 14-19
Framework Strategy
comes on stream we hope to offer other
language linked courses to appeal to today’s youngsters.
School
trips often remain fond memories and we offer currently two visits
abroad, in Year 8 to France or Germany and in Year
10/11 to Germany. These experiences do so much to develop students’ minds
and allow them to explore the wider world.
