Languages is optional but recommended, as it helps with entry to University (UCL specify that you need a GCSE language to study there) and broadens future careers options, as employers value languages highly. 

Prior knowledge from KS3 is built on and developed in the four skill areas of listening, speaking, reading and writing. These are all equally weighted at GCSE. Bespoke teaching is offered to support students at all skill levels to gain their full potential. After school intervention is also offered.
