French adds to the overall profile of a student and improves a student’s chances of getting into a good university and later into an interesting career. Over the last few years many King Edward’s students have gone on to study French at university or to combine French with an additional subject, including economics, medicine and law.
All students need a minimum of five GCSE passes (any subject) at grade 4 or better to study in Sixth Form.

Coursework: Speaking Students will have a 20-minute speaking assessment, where they will have a discussion around a card based on a theme from the course, and then present and discuss their own research project.
