Language is a thriving discipline at Wolverhampton Grammar School and the Modern Languages department has a history of organising successful educational visits and exchange programmes including a Sixth Form trip to our partner school in Savenay. French is the second most widely learned language after English. It has over 300 million speakers worldwide and is the only language, alongside English, spoken on all continents; thus making it a major language in international communication and much sought after by universities and employers. A friendly, welcoming atmosphere provided by teachers can always be found in the dedicated Modern Languages Department in the School, with additional resources available online and in the library. A native French language assistant offers weekly individual conversation classes. A range of extra-curricular clubs and societies is available to students including Literature and Film Clubs, which can be tailored to students’ interests.
