A Modern Language (French, Spanish or German) is a core part of our curriculum, with language skills and the communication skills highly prized by employers. All pupils select at least one language to study at GCSE and a number will choose two languages. Each language incorporates Listening, Reading, Speaking and Writing work; skills which are beneficial across all subjects and encourage accuracy of communication. Additionally, pupils develop their literacy through study of grammar in a foreign language and will gain an appreciation for a foreign culture and different points of view to their own.
Entry to the Sixth Form is subject to a minimum requirement of 5 GCSEs at Grade 6 unless there is a compelling reason to modify this requirement, and in any event, where this is necessary it will usually lead to the applicant being offered a BTEC or BTEC with one A Level as a Sixth Form course. Candidates must achieve at least a Grade 6 at GCSE in any subject to be studied at A level, and a Grade 7 in the case of Mathematics, any Science or a Modern Foreign Language.
