The Modern Foreign Languages Department at Trinity Academy has two main languages, French and German.

These are taught in alternate years. 2007/2008 is a French year.

In Key Stage 3 the department uses Expo and Echo course books. In Key Stage 4 we use Metro amd Logo and for A Level we use Elan and Zeitgeist. At GCSE and A Level we use the AQA examination board:

• AQA French GCSE
• AQA German GCSE
• AQA French A-Level
• AQA German A-Level

There are currently six members of staff.

The department runs a trip to France and Germany in Year 8.
