All pupils follow a two year course in a Foreign Language in Years 10 and 11.

Both the French and German courses build on the skills already gained in Key Stage 3 and aim to develop the ability to use the language for practical communication. There will be practice in Listening and Reading, and pupils will also develop their skills to communicate in the spoken and written language. It is hoped that pupils will enjoy their study of a European Language and come to a greater understanding of the country involved.

GCSE exam

The exam is made up of 4 sections all equally weighted at 25%. Listening, Reading, Speaking and Writing. Students will be assessed at the end of year 11 and all exams are taken in the same tier- i.e. all Foundation or all Higher.
