“If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart.” Nelson Mandela

At Ellesmere Park High School, the MFL department is committed to delivering a curriculum that is both engaging and challenging to all students, regardless of their background, additional needs experience or social privilege.

Our key aims are: 

• To engage students at all levels and promote the love of learning a foreign language, whilst celebrating and supporting academic achievement and progress.
• To engender the self-confidence needed to allow students to progress successfully in communicating in a foreign language for practical purposes.
• To increase the level of linguistic and cognitive demand through each academic year and key stage.
• For our students to be open-minded and adaptable to developing life-long linguistic skills including questioning, translating and fluency.
• To equip students to become responsible, resilient world citizens who make a positive contribution and are mutually respectful in our multicultural society.
