Here at Rockwood Academy the languages department’s intent is to ensure every student becomes a global citizen and for learners to be enriched and be able to contribute to the literature and culture of communities around the world. We aspire to expose our students to a broad and ambitious MFL curriculum, which develops an interest and thirst for learning other languages.

A curriculum that is rich in skills and knowledge which instils curiosity and promotes diversity and tolerance of other cultures.

Language learning offers a wide range of cognitive, social, and practical benefits. Here are some key benefits:

•          Improves cognitive skills 

•          Enhances communication skills

•          Provides great career opportunities

•          Increases cultural understanding

•          Enhances personal development

•          Increases academic performance

•          Stimulates brain function

•          Improves travel and cultural experiences

Overall, language learning is a multifaceted skill that goes beyond just mastering a new form of communication. It positively impacts various aspects of personal and intellectual development.
