These courses build on the skills acquired up to GCSE, combining the practical aspects of language learning with insights into the culture of the country concerned. Students will be introduced to a wide range of material dealing with current affairs, social issues, history, politics and literature. They will gain a sound knowledge of the language, which will equip them both for further specialist study if they so wish, or for more practical applications in the world of work and leisure.
Entry at year 12 is by assessment at St Swithun’s during the first weekend in November of the year before her intended entry. The assessment includes a series of interviews and written papers in your daughter’s chosen A level subjects. The assessments are broadly based on the GCSE specifications except in the case of subjects which have not been studied before: these look for a general interest in the subjects and the ability to write logically.
The A-level examinations consist of an oral examination and tests including listening, reading, writing and translation skills, as well as an essay in French/German/Spanish based on the set book/play and film.
