Students are taught through the four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing, and are encouraged to participate actively in lessons. 

We incorporate fun activities to support learning into the lessons such as singing French songs, playing language games, using mini whiteboards, watching extracts of French clips on YouTube and spending time practising speaking in pairs or in small groups.

Students who opt to study French at GCSE will follow the AQA syllabus. The course builds upon the skills developed at key stage 3, and further develops fluency and depth on the following topics: 

1. Identity and Culture
2. Local, national, international and global areas of interest
3. Current and future study and employment 

Students are assessed on 4 skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing) and can be entered either at foundation or higher level.
