Our excellent Head of Faculty for Modern Foreign Languages Mrs Charles delivered a very timely Friday Faculty Foci at the end of last week to all staff in our Staff Briefing meeting in the Main Hall.

Her presentation gave much food for thought for all of us as we reflected on how we are preparing all of our students for their upcoming examinations in the summer term.
