This course is designed for pupils who have taken a GCSE in a foreign language and who are keen to develop their linguistic skills, cultural awareness, fluency and written competence. It is a two year course, constituting an integrated study with a focus on language, culture and society. Books and film studies are part of the course. Using a selection of native sources, pupils hone their written, speaking, listening and reading skills alongside laying strong grammatical foundations. Russian and Mandarin may be offered as an extra, if practicable, on a private tuition basis only (extra cost to be met) depending on the availability of resources.
Sixth Form candidates are expected to achieve strong GCSE grades across the board. As a minimum, pupils should gain a 7 or above at GCSE in the subjects (or relevant subjects) they hope to study at A Level or at Higher Level within the IB. Particularly at A Level, that requirement moves up to an 8 for either Maths or any of the three traditional Sciences. The minimum entry requirement for A level language is a 7 at GCSE.
