Languages at the school play a hugely important role in ensuring the curriculum offer at Farlingaye offers students breadth and opportunity, and also the chance to foster a life-long love of learning a foreign language. We currently offer three languages, Spanish, French and German at KS3 with most students studying two in years 8 and 9. At GCSE and A Level all three languages are offered, and the strength of outcomes at both levels shows the ability of the students here and the excellence in teaching on offer.
