The A Level course extends the depth of knowledge and skills that students have acquired at GCSE, not just in terms of grammar, vocabulary and spoken fluency, but also in terms of extending their appreciation of the deeper nature of the language. This goes hand in hand with the study of social, historical, literary and cultural aspects of the countries where the language is spoken. Our students, who opt for French, German or Spanish (or a combination of two) at Key Stage 5 follow the AQA specification A Level. Topics at A Level: • Social issues and trends • Political and artistic culture • Grammar • One literary text and one film
Sixth Form admission is based on a combination of interview, present school report (for external applications) and performance at GCSE. As a guide, applicants should have received a combined total of at least 36 points in their seven best GCSEs and they should have achieved at least a grade 6 in the GCSE subjects they wish to take forward as their A Level subject choices and preferably a 7-9 grade.
Paper 1: Listening/Reading/Writing exam lasting 2 hours 30 minutes, Paper 2: Writing lasting 2 hours Paper 3: Speaking lasting 21-23 minutes (including 5 minutes preparation time)
