The A Level specification builds on the knowledge, understanding and skills that you gained at GCSE. It constitutes an integrated study with a focus on language, culture and society. It fosters a range of transferable skills including communication, critical thinking, research skills and creativity, which are valuable to the individual and society. You will study technological and social change, looking at diversity and the benefits it brings. You will study highlights of French or Spanish-speaking artistic culture, including music and cinema, and learn about political engagement and who wields political power in the French or Spanish-speaking world. You will also explore the influence of the past on present-day French and Spanish-speaking communities. Throughout your studies, you will learn the language in the context of French and Spanish-speaking countries and the issues and influences which have shaped them. You will study literary texts and film, and you will also have the opportunity to carry out independent research on an area of your choice. All A Level Language pupils are encouraged to spend some time in a French or Spanish speaking country during the two year course, in order to develop their language and knowledge of the country.
Offers of places will be made based on predicted GCSE Grades and applicants will require at least 5 passes at Grade 5 or above; at least a 6 in any subject to be studied at A Level except for Mathematics and the Sciences in which the candidate must have achieved at least a Grade 7.
