The A Level specification requires Year 12 students to study topics such as: the changing role of the family, cyber-society, charity work, French heritage, French music and French cinema. They also study a piece of French literature, such as Albert Camus’ “L’Etranger”. In their Year 13, students go on to study such topics as: the positive features of a diverse society, the treatment of criminals and the marginalised, politics (elections, entitlement, protest) and issues relating to immigration. Students also make an in-depth study of a French film, such as Louis Malle’s “Au Revoir Les Enfants”, and undertake an Individual Research Project about a topic of their choosing.
