    Curriculum Intent
    The Japanese department seeks to develop ambitious and resilient linguists who recognise their common humanity and
    strive to gain inter-cultural understanding and respect.
    We aim to provide an understanding of Japanese in a range of themes (Identities, Education, Town, Holidays, Leisure, Healthy
    living) which enables students to communicate effectively in authentic situations on their exchange visits and prepared for
    the challenges of developing the language at a higher level and with an aspiration to continue the language in the Sixth Form.
    We intend develop our students to be inquisitive and curious about the culture, knowledgeable and understanding, open-
    minded and courageous as they personally develop through their learning of Japanese.
