Dear Parents and Carers,
We are writing to inform you that your child has been invited to take part in the MFL Easter Intervention Programme in preparation for their upcoming speaking exam. This session is designed to help them improve their mock speaking exam marks and gain valuable practice.
The intervention will take place on Tuesday 8th April 2025 from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. We kindly ask for your support in ensuring your child attends, as this is a unique opportunity for small-group and one-to-one practice with their French/Spanish teacher ahead of their GCSE speaking exam, which is scheduled for the week commencing 21st April 2025.
Your child must confirm their attendance via the Google Form on the French/Spanish Google Classroom.
Additionally, your child will receive their allocated exam time by the end of this week. Please encourage them to revise, as the speaking exam is worth 25% of their final grade and is an element we can actively prepare for. They have already selected preferred questions and now need to focus on practising their responses.
We strongly encourage students to practise speaking aloud, using the strategies taught in lessons. They should start by focusing on their nominated theme, as they will definitely be asked questions on this topic.
Thank you for your support in helping your child succeed in their language exam.
Should you have any questions about this session or the upcoming exams, please contact Mrs Swinden or Miss Kelly (Heads of MFL) at:
Yours faithfully,
Sarah Swinden and Hannah Kelly
Heads of Modern Foreign Languages
