We had a lad joined in February Year 7 - and he came up from Bradford Grammar School (private - couldn't afford it anymore. Part of me wants to put lol and I can't bring myself to it!). He learnt French, German, Spanish, Greek, Latin, Russian and Mandarin.
We do French, German and Spanish.
At the North Lodge site, in Year 7 you get two hours a week. Each term it flips so Term 1 they get French then Term 2 they get German, and so on. In Year 8 they get 4 hours - 2 hours of French and 2 hours in German. Doesn't change at all throughout the year.
At the Church Chare site, you get 4 hours of languages in Year 9. 2 hours of Spanish, which you start. And 2 hours of French...
For GCSE, you have to pick one language out of French, German and Spanish - and get 2 hours of it. You can pick two if you're good at languages.
At A-Level, you can pick a language out of the three providing you do well in them at GCSE!
