At Truro School, we provide an exciting A-Level curriculum that will challenge students to think about themselves, society and their influence in the world around them all within the target language. At the end of the Lower Sixth year, students must choose a key question which relates to the country or countries where the target language is spoken. This Independent Research Project (IRP) is an exciting way to explore an area of interest. Students build evidence and competency around this area, which will form part of their oral examination. In the Upper Sixth, students study a film and a literary work from an exciting and wide ranging list. Literary expertise prior to beginning this section of the course is not a requirement, as we teach and look in detail at themes, character development, symbolism and structure.
The general requirement for a place in the Sixth Form is: • A minimum of six passes at GCSE (5-9) • In addition, each department has a particular entry requirement of either a 6 or 7 for subjects to be studied at A Level. Students studying subjects such as Psychology and Business Studies which have not been studied previously should show proficiency in similar subjects.
