French
The ability to understand and communicate in other languages is increasingly important in our society and in the global economy. Languages contribute to the cultural and linguistic richness of our society, to personal fulfilment, mutual understanding, commercial success, international trade and global citizenship. At The Perse we are bucking the national trend and French is an increasingly popular subject and attracts students from all subject specialisms who recognise that the ability to speak and understand a language beyond GCSE level will be a real asset at university and beyond. French combines well with all subjects, whether arts, sciences or humanities and we regularly have 35-40 Sixth Form students studying French, roughly a third of whom will continue to study languages at university in one form or another.
Each Sixth Form group is taught by three teachers and includes one lesson per week in a group of just two students with our Oral Language specialist, who is a native speaker and who has particular responsibility to prepare students for Units 2 and 4, the speaking examinations.
