Welcome to Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) at Dene Magna.  As a team of very passionate MFL teachers, we take a huge amount of pride in sharing our love of languages with every student at Dene Magna.  We hope that students embrace and develop a love of language learning and enjoy its many opportunities and benefits.  

Students can study either French or Spanish across all Key Stages. Where possible, students continue to learn the language they studied at primary school, as this allows them to build on the confidence they have already developed and the progress they have made. The attachments below provide more details about the MFL curriculum.  

We offer many culturally enriching experiences, which include a Year 7 trip to Normandy and Key Stage 4 trips to Barcelona and Paris. We encourage our KS5 students to participate in study or work experience visits in France or Spain. We also celebrate several cultural events throughout the year, including El Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead), Chinese New Year, and a week of activities highlighting European Day of Languages.  Our younger students are involved in penpal letter exchanges, and our Year 9 students can attend an in-school ‘Languages for Life’ event, where we invite speakers from various companies who use languages in their jobs, along with past students who have studied Modern Foreign Languages at University.
