This CLIL (content and language integrated learning) project sees Year 7 pupils learning Geography, RE and PSHE through the medium of French with lessons delivered jointly by language and subject teachers. Pupil attainment in French has risen significantly with achievement in the other subject at least as good as the non-bilingual groups.

The immersion method is hugely popular – 93% of pupils have opted to continue with bi-lingual learning in Year 8.
