MFL trip to Munich
‘Under the mentorship of the school’s MFL faculty I have been given many opportunities – the chance to participate in a foreign exchange to Nîmes and to mentor Ratton School Year 11 pupils preparing for their GCSE MFL exams to name but a few – which have proven invaluable to me. Without the experience and guidance of the MFL faculty I would have found myself in a vastly inferior position with regards to my application
to Cambridge. The enthusiasm that permeates the College’s languages faculty will prove an indispensable tool, I’m sure, as I move on through life.’ Josh Moreton
