Language College

In February 2003 we succeeded with our bid to become a Specialist School and were granted Language College status from September 2003. The school was re-designated with this status in September 2007 for a further three years.  We continue to be a beacon of excellence in this area, offering German, Spanish and French at both GCSE and A Level with outstanding results.
