French is both a working language and an official language of the United Nations, the European Union, UNESCO, NATO, the International Olympic Committee, the International Red Cross and international courts. The Francophonie, the international organisation of French-speaking countries, comprises 68 states and governments. French is the second most widely learned foreign language after English, and the ninth most widely spoken language in the world. An ability to speak French and English is a real advantage in the international job market. The French Department offers study trips to Paris as well as study days in London to reinforce students’ learning of the language and culture. The improvement of speaking skills is supported by individual sessions with a language assistant, who is a native speaker.
Most students who wish to take French will be expected to have a grade 7/8 at GCSE, although students with a grade 6 are not necessarily excluded and can go on to gain very good grades.
