  4. The selection process • Letters to parents of all new intake students • Parents’ evening partly conducted in French • Selection of the mixed ability group

  5. Anecdotal evidence HMI “Standards in the immersion French lesson were very high across all skill areas and pupils were achieving very well. In particular, pupils were using accurately a much wider range of vocabulary and structure than is usual.” TES “Their language comes alive when faced with their counterparts in a French College by video link. They fluently describe themselves, their family and their hobbies using an accent and language that a GCSE examiner would be proud of.”
