The French A Level course combines structured study of key elements of francophone society and culture with the opportunity for students to deepen their understanding of topics of their own choosing. Teaching of the topics and the film and literature is shared between two classroom teachers, while a third teacher delivers weekly speaking sessions to help students build up their confidence in spoken French, and to support them in their preparation for the oral exam.
Candidates for A Level require at least a grade 7 in French at GCSE / IGCSE. They should have a keen interest in the French language, but also in the culture and society of French-speaking countries. A readiness to undertake independent research and ongoing wider reading is an important prerequisite for French A Level.
