German

Course summary

With the importance of the European Union and the development of the world economy, international communication is at a premium. By studying a language in the Sixth Form you better qualify yourself for dealings with French, Spanish or German speaking regions of the world. Moreover you acquire greater insight into the workings of language itself – an important basis for the development of your ability to learn new languages in the future. We have the lower floor of one of the newest school buildings at our disposal – a suite of five classrooms with full audio-visual equipment, internet connections and extensive library facilities for students. Up-to-date, authentic material in the languages concerned is used; individual student exchanges are promoted. The department is staffed by ten enthusiastic and committed linguists. The A Level teaching teams have extensive experience as external examiners at this level.
