Languages at Kimbolton School
We teach languages from an early age in our Prep School, where pupils benefit from subject specialist teaching.
In Senior School and Sixth Form we offer French and Spanish.

French
Our approach to French emphasises the importance of a modern language in a global economy and promote the ‘Languages for Life’ message.
We believe pupils should not be linguistic paupers but instead should be equipped to meet the exciting challenges of the modern world by engaging in a foreign language.
We emphasise the importance of all skills, especially the speaking component, as well as a sound grammatical base.
In teaching French, we also focus on its communicative and receptive importance. We use whole class tasks, pair-work, and autonomous learning on a regular basis and have integrated modern technology (iPads) into our teaching techniques.
Spanish
Spanish lessons at Kimbolton School aim to combine the intellectual with the practical.
We enable pupils to develop language skills needed for confident communication in the target language as well as provide them with varied opportunities to explore the history, culture, evolution, current social trends and traditions of Hispanic societies.
We will combine the study of film, making emphasis on Almodóvar, literature and translation alongside a strong interest in current affairs and global issues. Students are provided with the preparation to exploit the benefits of working, living and travelling abroad.
Above all, we aim for our pupils to learn in a dynamic and enthusiastic atmosphere, getting involved in debates, challenges and a variety of interactive classroom activities, enjoying the possibilities this beautiful language offers to us as much as we do.
