Students will quickly be able to speak and understand French in a variety of common communication scenariois - see course content below. The teaching and learning is focused on the language skills of listening, reading, speaking and writing, and these are built on as students progress through their studies. 

 

The course will also offer insights into the culture and civilisation of countries where French is spoken, thus encouraging positive attitudes towards language learning and towards speakers of foreign languages. The course is also the perfect preparation for further study at A Level.

Parents are responsible for arranging their child's examinations at their local registered examination centre. Our students study from every part of the globe and so it is not practical for the school to offer a single venue to sit examinations. The provider, alongside; Edexcel, OCR, AQA and will support students in locating a suitable venue for sitting their written and practical examinations.
