“This was the first cohort to sit the GCSE exam after we made the change from IGCSE, so these results are fantastic and show how much modern foreign languages thrive at Queen Anne’s School.”
“The students have worked hard and I am happy that all the extra time we spent practising for the speaking exam paid off.
“The girls who took part in the French exchange prior to the examination scored 89% in average in the speaking exam which shows how valuable those trips are.
“I wish our linguists every success in their further studies at A Level.”
