This is delivered one lesson per fortnight to all year groups, during tutor time and during the weekly whole academy and year assemblies. 

Modern Foreign Languages 
Students choose to study French or Spanish before they start Year 7 as part of the transition process. They study that language through to the end of Year 11.

This means that students who start the academic year studying design technology will change to food technology after the February half term, and students who start the academic year studying food technology will change to design technology after the February half term.
