In French, learners progress through various levels:
- P7 French (Transition Project, previous knowledge)
- S1 French/Spanish (BGE – Broad General Education)
- S2 French/Spanish (BGE – Broad General Education)
- S3 French and/or Spanish N3 (BGE – Broad General Education)
- S4 National 4 or National 5 French courses
- S5/6 Higher French (new curriculum courses N5/N6)
In S3, pupils will be placed in a class appropriate to their ability and skill set acquired in S1 and S2. Pupils in S3 will begin at level 4 where appropriate and class teachers will decide thereafter the stage of progression onto National 4 and National 5 in S4.
Cultural elements of our courses are interspersed throughout the years with interdisciplinary projects and studying French films. This helps pupils to develop their cultural awareness of the countries where the French language is spoken. AiFL is at the heart of all language lessons which helps pupils to take ownership of their own learning and that of others.
