What the college says

Study of a language in years 12 and 13 therefore opens horizons beyond the specification offered at GCSE. The approach is designed to be more mature in terms of both language and content, with an emphasis upon more spontaneous use of language. Many pupils, who found the content of the GCSE specification somewhat constricting, relish the challenge of expanding their language and addressing more sophisticated topics. Class sizes tend to be relatively small and this provides the opportunity for students to be supported more comprehensively. Both the French and German departments are extremely well-equipped with literary texts, DVD and CD libraries. A language is an asset allied to any skill or discipline and has clear applications within the world of business at all levels including management and the entrepreneurial field. The same applies to, for example, the international legal system, work within the travel and tourism sector, work in the diplomatic service, local and national government, security, the retail industry or careers such as journalism. Language study could clearly lead to a career in translating as well as teaching, either secondary or primary. Where the latter is concerned, a male teacher with language skills would be particularly valued.
