The BA Flag Award
Involvement in the BA Flag Award for schools was originally to
enhance the experience of Gifted and Talented linguists in Year 10
and to offer an opportunity to achieve an additional qualification
in a vocational context at an important time during the KS4 GCSE
courses. Early success has provided a foundation for growth and the
scheme has now been rolled out to all students who have opted for
languages at KS4.
