The French A level course develops lifelong skills which are particularly sought after by universities and employers. Top universities recognise the academically challenging nature of the course and are more likely to offer places to students with a French A level qualification. Recently, the CBI (Confederation of British Industry) named French as one of the most desired language for UK business. Studying French will make you a better communicator, give you a greater cultural awareness as well as a better understanding of current affairs, both at home in and the French-speaking world. Beyond the fascinating content and experiences offered by the course, an A Level qualification in French will enable you to stand favourably in competitive fields such as law, politics, engineering and banking, as well as open doors to unsuspected opportunities worldwide. Did you know that, besides English, French is the only language spoken on all continents? If you feel passionate about playing an active role in the wider world, then French A level could be for you.
All candidates will be expected to have gained at least a grade 6 at GCSE (grade 7 or better recommended) in order to have a realistic chance of success in this qualification.
There are three final units of assessment. These are: Paper 1: Listening, Reading and Translation (Exam, 2 hours 30 minutes - 50% of A-level) Paper 2: Written assessment of study of book and film from optional content (Exam, 2 hours - 20% of A level) Paper 3: Speaking test (20 minutes, 30% of A level) We offer the possibility to sit an AS exam for students who wish to start their A level studies with 4 subjects with the view to dropping one in the second year.
