The aim of these syllabuses is to enable candidates to develop the language skills needed for confident communication in their chosen language as well as to provide them with an opportunity to gain an insight into contemporary cultural issues. Intellectual advancement through close engagement with a wide range of texts, the articulation of readings and justification of opinions is carried out at this level in both their chosen language and English. Reading and sustained critical thought through the study of literature will promote a finer feel for the subtleties and possibilities of their chosen language and crucially provide the critical tools and analytical skills required for further study in languages, as well as in the workplace. This option will take the form of an examination with listening, speaking, reading, translation and writing all assessed.
The minimum entry requirement is three subjects in Grade 6 and three in Grade 7, or equivalent, at GCSE (including Mathematics and English). It is highly desirable to have a Grade 7, 8 or 9 in the subjects to be taken at Sixth Form and, in practice, most successful candidates will have an 8 or 9 or equivalent in most subjects.
