The Russian GCSE course aims to help pupils make significant progress towards becoming a specialist in the language and the culture of the Russian-speaking world. Pupils will develop their language skills in three key areas: grammatical awareness, comprehension and communication. As a result, they will become capable of understanding the language in a variety of registers as well as reading, writing and speaking it accurately and increasingly fluently. The development of their language skills will take place within a framework of topics and issues of interest. Pupils will also be strongly encouraged to participate in a trip to Russia or another Russian-speaking country, which will further enhance their language skills
To join our Sixth Form we ask for nine GCSEs including Mathematics and English, with a minimum Grade 7 in the subjects that you wish to study, or in a related subject where the proposed course is in a new subject.
The first round assessment is a 90-minute, bespoke computer based test. The exam includes verbal and non-verbal reasoning, English and maths questions. The assessment will take place on the school premises. Pupils who are successful in round one are called back for interview. Applicants are not required to bring books, projects or other work with them to interview. We ask one or both of an applicant’s parents or guardians to attend at this time.
