The Yr 13 IB Extended Essays are all well underway with some very interesting topics being analysed this year. The Modern Languages Department would like to give a special mention to Victoria, who is undertaking her Extended Essay in her 3^rd language – French! There is no extra consideration given to this fact and this has meant that she is the first pupil in a long time to accept the challenge. We wish her every success as she writes about to what extent the linguistic variation in the film ‘Intouchables’ highlights the differences between the social classes in Paris.
