Italian

Head of Italian
Mr Llewelin Siddons MA

Italian is offered as a beginners’ course in the Sixth Form. Italian is a particularly grateful language to learn if you have already studied French, Spanish or Latin, and pupils usually make fast progress, taking the GCSE in their Upper Sixth. A good grade enables you to consider spending a year in Italy as part of a degree - it also makes holidays in Italy much more enjoyable!

Recently, two Clifton students, Emma Clutton-Brock and Charlotte Hooper, were both awarded one of the top 5 marks at GCSE Italian. In 2010, all 5 GCSE candidates obtained an A* and in 2011 two of them took AS or A Level in the Upper Sixth after only 18 months of study.
