Topics in Lower Sixth will include Family, the ‘cyber-society’, French culture, music and cinema. In Upper Sixth the topics we study will include multiculturalism, immigration and politics. We also study literature (see the topics below) and French film. The current film studied in Lower Sixth is Intouchables, the story of a friendship between a disabled businessman and his immigrant carer and in Upper Sixth we study La Haine, an iconic film dealing with life in the troubled suburbs of Paris in the late 1990s. The GCSE course is excellent preparation for A Level and you will find that the skills you have learnt will give you a strong foundation for success at A Level.
must have at least a grade 7 in the relevant GCSE subject
Students studying French in the Sixth Form will sit the AQA A Level exam. Progress will be assessed internally throughout the course. As the classes are small, there are lots of opportunities to practise your language skills, receive help and improve. At the end of the Upper Sixth, you will take three examinations: Paper one will test listening, reading and writing skills, Paper two involves two essays (on the film and text studied in Upper Sixth) and Paper three is an oral test in which you will have the opportunity to discuss a topic of your own choosing, researched independently.
