Language education at our school serves to develop learners' communication skills, along with their appreciation of other world cultures. In Reception, language is taught through a structured curriculum that includes key elements like Reading, Writing and Phonics. Lower School takes this further with girls benefitting from French and English lessons. Outside the curriculum, girls are invited to join clubs with a language focus from Year 1 onwards, such as French and Mandarin, to advance their knowledge and comprehension. By immersing themselves at this Pre-Prep level, girls are then able to continue their language studies in Middle and Upper School.
