French is the second most commonlytaught second language in the world after English with 77 million first language speakers and 51 million second language speakers. It is the official language in 33 countries and, other than English, is the only language spoken as a native language in all 5 continents. French is one of the official working languages in dozens of international organisations, including: NATO, UN and Amnesty International. Those with this qualification enhance their employment prospects as more companies are now looking for a workforce able to communicate with partners in Europe and beyond. Students who do not envisage using French as an integral part of their career also benefit from the course as they experience the enjoyment and motivation of improving their linguistic level and will find foreign travel easier. Our economy and trade depend on the capacity to communicate with others in their native tongue. Fluency in a foreign language gives access to employment and promotion opportunities in a great number of areas. Many companies are multinational and almost all have dealings with other countries. The Russell Group of universities ranks French as a preferred A-Level and the ratio of applicants to places across modern languages is better for the applicant than any other subject area. This is especially true for Oxford and Cambridge applicants. Students will also have an opportunity to visit France as part of the course.
Expected six grades at Grade 6 or equivalent at GCSE including English and Mathematics (currently under review). Individual students should contact the school for further information.
