There are over 100 million native speakers of German around the world and countless German firms in the UK seeking German-speaking staff. As a Germanic language like English, it can enhance your English language skills. Not only does it help in your other studies, it can enhance your employability and enable you to converse with people all around the world. We currently follow the AQA A-Level syllabus in our Sixth Form. Students develop their knowledge and understanding of themes relating to the culture and society of countries where German is spoken, as well as develop their language skills over the 2-year course. They will do this by using authentic spoken and written sources in German. They will also have individual time with the German assistant and will develop their communication and translation skills. The topics covered include German-speaking society, multiculturalism in German society, political issues, and festivals and traditions. Students will also study a piece of literature and film in German. There are opportunities for students to also take on an independent research project about a topic which interests them about the German language and culture. Year 13 In Year 13, students study immigration, integration and multiculturalism within Germany and the German-speaking world. They also study the history of Germany and analyse a film.
New entrants to the Sixth Form are expected to achieve at least 7 GCSEs including English and Mathematics, at grade 4 or above, with grade 6 or above in her chosen Advanced Level subjects. If her chosen A Level subjects include Maths or a Science, she will be expected to achieve a grade 7 or above for that subject. Details of our A Level courses and specific entry requirements are available in our Sixth Form Options booklet.
At the end of the course, students are assessed on their listening, speaking, reading, writing, translating and research abilities. Again, the German assistant plays a vital role in Sixth Form lessons as the students prepare for their oral examination, helping with pronunciation, vocabulary and much more.
