Indeed, out of twenty-four candidates for French, eight achieved an A* grade, ve an A grade, six a B grade and three a C grade. Moreover, 100% of our learners of French equalled or exceeded their predicted grades which denotes very accurate predictions made by the MFL teachers, and on the whole, very good pupils’ performances.
In Spanish, out of twelve pupils, two achieved an A* grade, two an A grade, six a B grade and two a C grade. 75% of our learners of Spanish equalled or exceeded their predicted grades. It is a clear indication of the hard work that was put into the preparation of the candidates.
In Swahili, out of six candidates, four achieved a grade 9 and one a grade 8. Moreover, 100% of our learners of Swahili equalled or exceeded their predicted grades.

Grade % 80 20 e Mandarin Chinese Club has been taking place this academic year and will reappear in Michaelmas 2023. It is a good opportunity for our pupils to be exposed to this fascinating tonal language that they may well nd incredibly useful in a few years’ time when they start applying for jobs. Our short-term target will be to prepare our pupils for the HSK 1 examination but our long-term target will subsequently be to sit for the IGCSE Mandarin Chinese Examinations.
In both AS and A2 French, our candidates achieved B grades. In A2 Spanish, one candidate obtained a B grade and the other one a C grade.
Similarly, some of our pupils who have been showing interest in French and Spanish national quali cations have been taking examinations at various levels (from absolute beginner to lower intermediate). It is our aim to encourage as many pupils as possible to follow in their footsteps in the coming academic year.
