In the first year of the A Level course, you will develop your skills in speaking, listening, reading and writing according to two main themes: Social Trends and Artistic Culture within the countries and communities where the target language is spoken. The first year will also include the study of a literary text or film. The second year of the A Level course develops these same skills through the study of two more main themes: Current Social Issues and Political Life within the countries and communities where the target language is spoken. A second literary text or film will also be studied, depending on which option was studied in Year 1. Over the two years, you can study either two texts or one text and one film. Students also have to complete an individual research project.
The normal expectation for entry to our Sixth Form is six Grades 9 - 5 or equivalent at GCSE, but we do consider all applications on an individual basis, so if you have any concerns about meeting these grades please come and speak to Mrs C L Wheeler or Mr Smith, our Assistant Principal (Academic). As lessons are conducted in the target language, you should enjoy using the language to communicate with others. An interest in current affairs and literature is helpful.
