This question was answered on 8th March 2023
It is up to schools to decide which languages are taught as part of their curriculum at secondary phase.
The Welsh language is a valuable part of our nation’s heritage and is an important aspect in fostering UK wide cohesion. When deciding which languages to offer their pupils, state funded secondary schools in England are likely to consider the needs of the communities that they serve and may decide to offer Welsh.
