The provision of a French-English stream in years 9 and
10, French quatrième and troisième, known as the Lycée Stream,
introduced in 2006.
Lessons are delivered in English for: English, Sciences,
RS, Art, Classics, and a further modern language. Pupils
follow the school's standard year 9 curriculum and are incorporated
into classes with mainstream pupils.
Lessons are delivered in French for: French, Maths, History,
Geography and PSHE/Civics. The curriculum is directed towards
le diplôme national du brevet (DNB) and validated by a French
Lycée. Pupils will take the brevet examinations at the end
of the troisième year, thus qualifying for entrance, if
required, into a Lycée for the programme de seconde (year
11). Alternatively, pupils can stay within the English system
and take a limited GCSE programme.
A development of this scheme in 2008 is likely to enhance
the bilingual provision in year 9, the quatrième, but not
offer the troisième. Instead, pupils will either opt fully
into the GCSE programme or return to France to complete
le diplôme national du brevet.
This project builds upon existing connections with France
and the French market. It also helps to support a local
Prep School which teaches pupils French curriculum in years
7 and 8 (French 6e and 5e). We already have a significant
number of bilingual French/English within the school. We
also have French members of staff.
