Northgate High School and the New Secondary Curriculum for Languages
The MFL Curriculum at Northgate has been developed in response to focus group interviews with Key Stage 3 pupils. As a result we have made major changes to how we teach and what pupils study.

In July 2009, two years on from the original focus group interviews, I have started a new round. Here is what they say now. focus groups summer 09 . There is a real change in how the pupils talk about their learning.
