MFL Curriculum

The MFL Department at Queensmead is dedicated to ensuring that all pupils achieve their best both during their time with us as well as in their exams. As a department we have a passion for languages that all our members of staff aim to pass on to our students.

We have specific schemes of work for each dedicated year group as well as resources available to supplement these. In addition, many extra-curricular activities are also arranged for the pupils to supplement their knowledge.
