Course summary

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.
