There are 7 full-time, and 2 part-time, teachers in the department who
teach French. This includes 2 native speakers. This popular and successful
subject is managed by a skilful and very experienced Head of French.
At KS3, there are four 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 GCSE options.
All students are given a text book to use throughout the course. Students
use the most up-to-date edition of 'Encore Tricolore'. They have occasional
use of the Language Lab and also the ICT suite and in addition, all French
class rooms are equipped with internet access which allows students to
use the Board Works software and other websites in their lessons.
The course covers the study of a variety of topics in a communicative
way to enable them to manage day-to-day real life situations.

At KS4 we are pleased that demand for the subject remains high with three
classes at GCSE. Students are not offered the coursework option for GCSE
so they take the final GCSE examinations in all the elements of Listening,
Speaking, Reading and Writing. All students use the language lab regularly
to practise their speaking and listening skills
Please follow the link to read more about KS4 topics.
All students are encouraged to use websites to access games, music and
TV from home to supplement their learning in the class room.
A high number of students opt to continue with French at AS and A2. Please

Students in years 10 and 12 are offered the opportunity to participate
in the Study Tour to Paris. For more information about the French trip,
