We cannot fully understand, or easily do business with, our European neighbours unless we have a knowledge of their language. Competence in a modern language opens up a whole new culture, tradition and literature to be explored, and is essential in a wide range of professions. Study of a foreign language in the Sixth Form, developing speaking and listening skills, involves the acquisition of vocabulary, an understanding of grammar and reflection on how we and others communicate and convey meaning.
For automatic entry into the Sixth Form a minimum of eight grade Bs (6 point average) at IGCSE/GCSE is required. If students fall short of this mark by gaining some C grades, an equivalent number of higher grades in other subjects may be acceptable. Most of our pupils work towards achieving the IB Diploma or three A Level subjects. Slightly above the eight B grade hurdle and certainly below it, a different programme of study may be more appropriate and each case will be considered individually. Ideally pupils will gain at least a grade A (7 points) at IGCSE/GCSE in a subject (or a related subject) they wish to study at IB Higher Level or for A Level, and certainly they should not score less than a B grade. For Mathematics, Modern Foreign Languages and the Sciences, A grades (7 points) at GCSE or IGCSE are expected.
