French is spoken by 74 million people across the world, notably in France and former French territories. Being able to speak French can provide you with travel and work opportunities. In fact, according to the British Council’s report ‘Languages for the Future’, 49% of UK businesses look for employees who can speak French, meaning studying the language will be a huge asset to your career. With a projected 750 million speakers by 2050, being able to speak the French language is a powerful skill to have. If you’re planning on continuing onto higher education after school, then your knowledge of French will give you the opportunity to take a gap year in various French-speaking countries across the world.

Over the 2 years, we study four taught themes:
Theme 1 - Being a young person in a French-speaking society (family and friends; youth trends; education and opportunities)
Theme 2: Understanding the French-speaking world (culture and heritage; la Francophonie; art, literature and film).
Theme 3: Diversity and difference (cultural identity; celebrating difference; discrimination and diversity).
Theme 4: France 1940-50 - The Occupation and the post-war years (occupation, life and culture in Occupied France, liberation and repercussion for modern France).
We also study a film and a work of literature - in recent years, these have included La Haine, Les Choristes and No et Moi . Students complete an independent research project on a topic of their choosing.
