Modern Foreign Language learning at Shuttleworth College is all about thinking big and chasing dreams!
It is more than a curriculum subject; it is way of discovering the world in all of its diversity. Learning a foreign language opens doors to other countries and cultures. It fosters students’ curiosity and deepens their understanding of the world. It also provides opportunities for students to communicate for practical purposes, learn new ways of thinking, and read great literature in its original language.
Students at Shuttleworth College are encouraged to think like a linguist. Once acquired, communication, critical thinking and problem-solving skills allow them to learn any other language in the future. These skills could help them get a dream job for BMW, Versace, IKEA, Samsung or similar; where they may be expected to study German, Italian, Swedish, Korean… As a language learner, they will already understand the need to practise speaking, listening, reading and writing so they can communicate effectively.
From September 2024 we moved to a one language model. This means the new intake of Y7s will all learn one language according to the below;
Y7 September 2025 – Spanish
Y7 September 2026 – French
Spanish
