Studying a modern language will broaden your horizons, both personally and professionally. As well as learning to speak, read, write and listen to another language, you’ll explore a wide range of topics including literature, politics, history, art, music, theatre, ethics, technology, cinema and fashion. In the process, you’ll learn how to research effectively, debate complex subjects, empathise with others, and express your views clearly and concisely. What you’ll study In each language, your studies will fall into four main areas: French: Current trends and issues in French-speaking society; artistic culture in the French-speaking world; political life in the French-speaking world. German: Aspects of German-speaking society; artistic culture in the German-speaking world; multiculturalism in German-speaking society; political life in the German-speaking world. Spanish: Aspects of Hispanic society; artistic culture in the Hispanic world; multiculturalism in Hispanic Society; political life in the Hispanic-speaking world. You’ll also study at least one work of literature, and several films and will choose a topic relating to the language studied to research and discuss in your speaking exam (your Individual Research Project).
If you're an existing student, entry to the Sixth Form is conditional on you achieving a minimum of six GCSEs at grade 6. You don't have to complete an application form. You’ll need at least a grade 7 at GCSE in your chosen language, together with our general entry requirements.
You’ll take two written exams. Paper one will test your reading, writing and listening skills. You’ll be asked to summarise texts, translate in and out of the language and answer questions to check your comprehension. Paper two involves writing two essays, examining the film and novel you’ve studied. You’ll also have a speaking exam. Part one (five minutes) will involve talking about a topic you’ve studied. Part two (ten minutes) will be a discussion about your Individual Research Project.
