Wilkommen auf die Deutschseite!
In German, pupils follow a course of study to build skills leading up to the Edexcel IGCSE exam.
Pupils master a range of vocabulary and grammar structures using the Stimmt! and Hodder textbook course, as well as a host of online resources.
We also have a well-established pen-pal exchange with a partner school in Bavaria, which we visit in the summer (see trips).

Partnership trip to Bavaria, where we are twinned with a Grammar School in Ansbach, near Nuremberg.
Pupils visit the local area, but also have the chance to experience life as a pupil in a German school. Imagine sitting in English lessons and finding out how it is taught as a foreign language!

Cultural trip to Berlin. Pupils explore Berlin architecture and understand more about the Berlin Wall and the East-West divide and modern politics in Berlin as part of the A Level course.
There are also regular opportunities to explore German culture in London, through art exhibitions and cinema or theatre trips.
