Key Stage 4 & 5

-------------------------

YEAR 10

Terms 1 & 2 French / German

Pupils re-cap work from years 7-9 to ensure that they are up to speed. They will increasingly meet new vocabulary and structures to help them succeed in their coming assessments. Students will speak with native language assistants one on one and will complete an element of independent learning.

Term 3 French / German

Students will begin to prepare for written and spoken elements of the GCSE exam and will undertake mock exams.

YEAR 11 French / German

The final GCSE year sees lots of opportunities to ensure that students’ language is at its best before the exams. All four skills: reading, writing, speaking and listening will be practiced and students will have mock exams and one to one tuition with one of our native language assistants.

YEAR 12 French / German

Students follow the OCR AS examinations and will use brand new course materials. All students will have dedicated one to one time with a native language assistant. The course covers listening to authentic texts, interactive and independent work and reading materials for the country being studied. Groups are small and well-catered for by a language specialist.

YEAR 13 French / German

Students follow the OCR A2 examinations and will use brand new course materials. As year 12, all students will have dedicated one to one time with a native language assistant. The course covers listening to authentic texts, interactive and independent work and reading materials for the country being studied. Groups are small and well-catered for by a language specialist. At this highest end of language learning, students will study new areas of interest and be given plenty of opportunity for self-development and independent learning.
