We follow the AQA courses at A-level, where students expand upon their linguistic knowledge from GCSE, leading towards a much greater level of fluency. Students can study French, German or Spanish. We encourage our A-level linguists to take part in a week’s European Work Experience placement, where they not only benefit from practising their language skills in a target-language country, but also gain invaluable firsthand cultural awareness and vocational experience. Former A-level linguists of our department have gone on to enjoy successful careers in many fields, including finance, law, engineering, dentistry, human resource management and medicine amongst others.
Year 11 students transfer automatically into the Sixth Form, provided that they have gained at least five subjects at grade 6 and above, including English Language and mathematics, and with no less than a grade 6 (ideally a 7, 8 or 9 grade) in the subjects, or related, with which they wish to continue at A level. In addition, the student’s record of conduct and attitude must meet the appropriately high expectations of the school’s Sixth Form
