Course summary

After GCSE, pupils then have the opportunity to take A Level German, where we aim to enhance their linguistic skills and develop their ability to interact effectively with users of the language. In addition, the study of German at A Level will equip our students with a range of transferable skills that will enable them to proceed to further study or employment. A range of topics are studied including German reunification, political and artistic culture in German-speaking countries, societal developments in Germany and immigration. Pupils also have the opportunity to study both a German film and novel, where they can develop their understanding of literary devices and cinematography whilst deepening their knowledge of key aspects of German culture. Previous cohorts, who have taken German have achieved excellent grades at A Level.

Entry requirements

We welcome external candidates to the Sixth Form, who are assessed on the basis of reports from their existing schools, written tests, interviews and GCSE predictions. We strongly recommend that all girls have achieved at least grade 7s (A grades) in their chosen A level subjects, as those with lower grades are likely to find the Sixth Form course challenging. Both internal and external candidates may compete for Academic Sixth Form Scholarships. These examinations take place in November each year. Scholarships are also awarded for Art, Drama and Music.
