Course summary

Opting for French at A level takes your language acquisition into a new league. You are taught in small groups where the emphasis is on gaining confident communication skills alongside an appreciation of the culture and diversity of the French speaking world. Each student has weekly sessions with our French language assistants that help to consolidate and extend the new language, grammar and discussion points covered in lessons. We share our passion for the language, encouraging independent exploration of the culture of francophone countries through music, cinema and the arts, and participation in our Sixth Form language and culture trip to France. In addition, our Uni-stretch programme gives those who are thinking about studying French at university a chance to widen their awareness of the French literary greats from Molière through to Maupassant and beyond.

Entry requirements

We require external students joining STAHS to achieve a minimum of grade 6 in Maths and in English, alongside the grade requirements in relevant GCSEs for their chosen A levels. Grade 7 or above in GCSE French.
