Year 12 Summer School in French, German and Italian
Our Year 12 non-residential summer school is for students studying French, German or Italian at AS level and is thinking about studying languages at University. The two day course will help students to improve their linguistic abilities as well as experiencing sessions on areas of culture, history or politics from those countries enabling students to get a feel for the whole experience of language learning. Priority will be given to students that have no prior experience of Higher Education in their immediate families.
