Bonjour, Bienvenue. Are you interested in learning about the language, culture, history and current affairs of the French speaking world? If so, studying a language at Advanced level could be for you. The topics studied during the course cover a wide range of issues: AS French will build on familiar GCSE work and include the media, popular culture, healthy living and family relationships. A2 widens to include the environment, multi-cultural society and contemporary issues. We will also study the work of a film director and France 1939-1944.

We have a trip every year to France. There will be opportunities to stay with families in order to experience the language and culture of your chosen country. Many of our students go on to study languages as a major or minor part of their Higher Education course. There has been an explosion in recent years in the number of university courses where Modern Languages are combined with other subjects, such as business and management, marketing, accountancy, law, engineering, sciences, IT, arts and music. Study at this level usually involves time spent working or studying abroad. In recent years, the ability to use languages is highly prized by employers. Modern Languages graduates are in demand with 96% of students finding employment.
