The
Modern Foreign Languages department at Buxton Community School is a vibrant,
collaborative and forward-looking team dedicated to fostering students’ passion
for languages and cultures.
We
deliver French and Spanish across Key Stages 3, 4 and 5, offering AQA GCSE and
A Level qualifications. Our curriculum is designed to engage, challenge and
inspire students through a focus on communication, cultural awareness and
lifelong learning.
The
department has recently introduced a new Key Stage 3 curriculum for both French
and Spanish, aligning with the AQA 2024 GCSE specification, ensuring clear
progression and depth of learning. At Key Stage 5, we currently offer AQA A
Level French, with growing interest in continuing language study beyond GCSE.
Our
classrooms are well-resourced, supported by digital technology and interactive
resources. Beyond the classroom, we are proud of our commitment to enrichment
and global experience, with regular overseas visits yearly such as Madrid in
2026 and France in 2027, alongside local and national cultural events.
You will
join a talented and supportive team that values collaboration and professional
growth. The department works closely with the wider school community and with
colleagues across the Embark Federation to share expertise and develop
outstanding practice.
