The A’ Level specification builds on the knowledge, understanding and skills gained at GCSE. It fosters a range of transferable skills including communication, critical thinking, research skills and creativity, which are valuable to the individual and society. The content is suitable for pupils who wish to progress to employment or to further study, including a modern languages degree. In Lower Sixth, the AQA A’ Level course examines how Spanish society has changed in the Post-Franco era and explores the question of regional identity. In Upper Sixth, pupils study in greater depth the cultural heritage of Spanish speaking countries. Pupils will undertake an Independent Research Project on a subject of their choice for the speaking examination. The course covers topics such as the concepts of monarchy and dictatorship, as well as social issues such as racism and immigration. Pupils will further develop essay writing skills as they closely study a Spanish film and a piece of Spanish literature.
Generally, students must have at least 5 GCSE grades 9 – 5 or equivalent Scottish Highers qualifications for entry to the Sixth Form. Internal candidates are very likely to exceed this minimum requirement with an average 9 GCSEs. It is usual for a student to have achieved a Grade 6 or higher in their chosen areas of study.
