Ysgol Sir Thomas Picton School

The MFL Department consists of French and German and these 2 languages have been taught for many years at Sir Thomas Picton School. The addition of Italian and Spanish at Sixth Form Level for the Welsh Bac this year have further enhanced the profile of MFL.

We are the only school in Pembrokeshire able to offer the combination of these languages to a broad range of ages and ability and we see this as one of our main strengths for the future.

"Exchange between STP and the Realschule in Oberkirch in South West Germany

During the week from the 5th of June till the 12th of June the pupils from STP welcomed 31 pupils and their teachers from the Realschule in Oberkirch. Twenty years ago Haverforwest and Oberkirch became twin towns and the local Realschule and Sir Thomas Picton School decided to start regular pupil exchanges.

Pupils from both schools performed in a celebratory concert in the community hall on the 11th of June. The mayor Councillor Champell, the founder of the exchange Councillor Babara Morgan and the school’s governor S. Hudson were among the visitors. The atmosphere in the hall was electric, as the German brass band and pop band played with their teachers and British students performed pieces such as ‘ ‘River flows in you’ self composed pieces and jazz pieces on string instruments. The exchange was organised by the Head of German Mrs. D. Stephens. Our pupils will revisit the Germans in September."
