Key Stage 3
All students in year 8, 9 and 10 study Irish at the College. We endeavour to develop all their language skills in reading, writing, speaking and listening. We study a range of topics and provide many opportunities to learn in fun and engaging ways. Pupils are provided with opportunities to work independently and also work with others in their classes. We believe that our KS3 curriculum prepares them well for the GCSE course if they choose to take it on as a subject. Irish is an exciting and interesting language and this comes across in the learning of the subject in the Junior years.
