Introduction to the German Department

"Our aim is to give pupils an insight into the German way of life, culture and history, and to enable them to communicate effectively when in German speaking countries.

The study of German also develops the linguistic skills which enable pupils to gain a better understanding of their own and other languages."

Our department has:

  • Two experienced teachers
  • .
  • Two well-equipped teaching rooms.

  • Access to numerous German TV stations via satellite links to the department.
  • A well established and successful exchange to the Lloyd Gymnasium in Bremerhaven Germany each year.
  • Up-to-date textbooks, video and TV resources.
  • A link with the Odenwald Schule in Germany, with their pupils spending one term each at Friends' School on rotation, which enhances our German experience at Friends' School. Click here for photos.
