Course summary

We will be following the AQA A-Level course. For Year 12, the course is broad and relevant, offering you the chance to develop your linguistic skills through the study of topics such as social issues in Spain and Latin America, artistic culture, and regional identity You will also study in detail a Spanish or Latin American film. The grammatical content of the course is of great importance and you will gain a much deeper knowledge of the structure of the Spanish language. A-Level builds on the topics covered in the previous year and also covers multiculturalism in Hispanic society and politics. You will also study a Spanish novel in detail and undertake an individual research project on a topic of your choice relating to the Hispanic world.

Entry requirements

Any pupil who has passed GCSE Spanish can elect to study Spanish in the Sixth Form. The ability to get good grades at AS and A-Level requires a large amount of independent work. Consequently, pupils should have a genuine interest in Spanish and the ability to go beyond the basic structures encountered at GCSE. Although the Department will not turn down anyone who has a genuine passion to learn Spanish, anyone struggling to gain a Grade 6 or 7 or above at GCSE is unlikely to succeed at A-Level.

How you'll be assessed

A-Level is assessed by two written papers and an oral examination at the end of the course.
