Dream of speaking with confidence in cafés in Paris, negotiating business in Madrid, or exploring Italian art with local guides?
At Brampton College, our Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) department offers A Level courses in Spanish, French, Italian, and German, some of the most widely spoken and influential languages in the world. These are official languages in over 50 countries and essential for students who want to communicate across borders, appreciate cultural nuance, and succeed in global environments.
Students benefit from individualised teaching in small groups led by native-speaker teachers, combining structured grammar learning, advanced vocabulary acquisition, and cultural immersion. The programme includes preparation for internationally recognised language certifications, such as the DELF (French) and DELE (Spanish), as well as literature and film analysis, speaking fluency, listening and reading comprehension, and written expression.
The department also offers IGCSE and proficiency pathways for students starting earlier or wishing to fast-track their progress. Enrichment opportunities, including an annual trip to Paris, foreign-language cinema screenings, and visits to cultural institutions like the Estorick Collection, add real-world context to classroom learning.
