Years 7-11
French is the first modern foreign language taught at the College. Most pupils will learn French over five years to GCSE. In Year 7 pupils learn in mixed-ability groups, assuming no previous knowledge. Thereafter sets progress at varying levels of ability but to common targets. We now use the teaching course "Métro".  Every pupil is equipped with a copy.  In the final year of GCSE we also use a variety of specialised teaching and revision materials.
Sixth Form
We regularly have one set preparing the OCR syllabus for AS in the Lower Sixth and for A level in the Upper Sixth. A wide variety of books and contemporary material is used to study cultural, commercial, literary and non-literary topics. Our suite of modern language classrooms has cassette-players and overhead-projectors throughout. We have easy access to (satellite) television, video and ICT facilities. Since Easter 2003 we have established a successful exchange-link with a school in the Bordeaux region.
