French (Y10-13)

In French, we study all things French - French language, culture, art, literature, philosophy, current affairs, and of course, language. We also learn about other francophone (French-speaking) countries, in Europe, Africa and North America.

Our students learn to communicate their views and opinions in French, as they take on board those of other countries and other cultures.

Knowledge of French will give you a distinct advantage when applying to universities, and on the job market. As Britain negotiates its position in a fast-changing world, the ability to communicate successfully with, and understand, our international counterparts is paramount.

French language and culture in our own locality

You can visit the Alliance Française to engage in cultural French activities or courses in Manchester, where you can also visit HOME cinema to watch French films. French art can be seen in galleries across the North-West, and the region also boasts French cafés and societies where culture and language can be absorbed. With the evolution of available digital media, French music, film, television and news articles can be accessed at the tap of a screen or click of a button!
