Modern Foreign Languages
The Languages Department at Ridgeway offers Spanish taught by 4 enthusiastic linguists who want to pass onto their students a love of languages and an understanding of their importance in today’s society.
We aim to equip our students with the skills necessary for an increasingly competitive job market where we believe it is no longer acceptable or practical to be monolingual. Our students enjoy stimulating and challenging lessons delivered through a variety of teaching styles. We have the following ambitions for our students:
