French is a popular, successful subject at Nonsuch with a team of 9 teachers,
including 2 native speakers. The Department is led by an excellent Head
of French who demands, and consistently achieves, the best for all her
students.
At KS3 there are 4 classes of French in years 7, 8 and 9. All students
study within their form groups until they reach year 10 when they make
their choices for GCSE.
All students use the 'Encore Tricolore' series of text books throughout
the course. They study a variety of topics in a communicative way to enable
them to manage day-to-day real-life situations. All students will have
the opportunity to use the new multimedia language centre from September
2009.

at GCSE. Students will start the new Edexcel specification from September
2009. Students are now required to sit the final examination in the skills
of Reading and Listening. The other 2 elements of the GCSE, Speaking and
Writing are tested by the completion of controlled assessments through
years 10 and 11
