Letter sent home to all parents of GCSE French students.

21 January 2008


Dear Parents/Guardian,                       

Re: French experience for students in Year 10 & 11

We would like to offer GCSE students in Year 10 & 11 the opportunity to take part in a language conference in London on Wednesday 12 March. The aim of the day is to provide an enjoyable experience which will increase motivation, interest and confidence, leading to enhanced examination performance and a greater likelihood of continuing study beyond GCSE.

The programme is a mixture of presentations followed by practical activities giving students a unique opportunity to practise their language skills in a fun environment.

Comments from teachers who came to last year’s conference:

“Pupils really enjoy and benefit from the day; we look forward to it every year”

“Very good, the level was just right. Excellent preparation for GCSE exams”

“Fantastic! A great variety of activities. The students were very enthusiastic”

The cost for the day is £25 to include travel by minibus, parking and entrance fee.

If you would like your son/daughter to take part please fill in the slip below and return to the cashier with £25 by Monday 28th January.

Yours sincerely,



B. Finch
Head of languages
