The Languages faculty has a broad and ambitious curriculum, which is rich in skills and knowledge, develops independence, inspires curiosity and promotes diversity and tolerance. Our curriculum will give students the opportunity to use practical language skills through listening, speaking, reading and writing for communication in the real world.
Students, whatever their background, should have the chance to learn a language whilst discovering the patterns, history and grammar that deepens their understanding of their own and do so in a way that is creative, imaginative, and relevant to today’s world.
Our curriculum will provide students with the foundation for learning other languages, giving them the transferable skills and confidence to succeed in other subjects, in the workplace and beyond. Learning a language at WOA will deepen their understanding and appreciation of other cultures and inspire them to venture beyond their doorstep into the wider world.
