  5. Anecdotal evidence HMI “Standards in the immersion French lesson were very high across all skill areas and pupils were achieving very well. In particular, pupils were using accurately a much wider range of vocabulary and structure than is usual.” TES “Their language comes alive when faced with their counterparts in a French College by video link. They fluently describe themselves, their family and their hobbies using an accent and language that a GCSE examiner would be proud of.”
