Publication on the original site began in March 2002 with information to help Year 11 to prepare for their GCSE exams and also to respond to interest from other students who wish to extend their work outside school. We would welcome ideas and support in improving our site.

Our aim is to aid learning of Languages by providing some of the material we use at school and to make it accessible to our students and their families when not at school.

Please note that from 2003 dictionaries will not be allowed in Languages' exams.

Students can choose a mixture of papers at higher and foundation level.

Higher = grades A* - D
