We follow the AQA A Level in German. This new course is highly engaging, focusing entirely on the society and culture of the German-speaking world. The girls study a range of interesting topics: the digital world, youth culture, immigration and racism, cultural life in Berlin, as well as German reunification. The course also requires the study of German literature and cinema. We currently study Das Leben der Anderen and Der Besuch der alten Dame, which are both very popular with our students, thanks to the support we give to begin studying works in another language. The students develop a number of other transferable key skills throughout this course: they are regularly tasked with researching and presenting their findings on the subject matter of the different topics, they are encouraged to think critically about these issues and the works they study and develop an advanced grasp of German grammar. In addition to their timetabled lessons, each student attends an individual weekly conversation class with our German assistant. This proves invaluable in the preparation for the A Level oral examination.
Conditional offers are made in early December. Students are expected to achieve a minimum of eight GCSE passes with at least seven at Grade 7 or above. We also expect the students to obtain a Grade 7 or above in those subjects they wish to study in Sixth Form.
Paper 1: Listening, reading and writing – 2 hours 30 minutes – 50% of qualification Paper 2: Writing – 2 hours – 20% of qualification Paper 3: Speaking – 21-23 minutes – 30% of qualification
