Information Book Just for Starters - Stockport Grammar School

At A Level there are usually two groups in Lower Sixth and two groups in Upper Sixth. Each
group consists, on average, of ten pupils. The groups are taught by two teachers, each of
whom is responsible for a particular area of the specification. Of the ten lessons each cycle,
two are in the language laboratory. Upper Sixth pupils study two set texts and a range of
language topics. Built into the courses are opportunities for thorough revision, consolidation
of grammar and chances to visit productions of French plays and conferences.
Are there any trips?
All First Year pupils have the opportunity to travel to France at Easter and take part in a week
of activities. We currently offer a language trip to Paris for pupils in Fourth Year and a work
experience trip to Nantes for Sixth Form students.
Is there a Language Assistant?
The Language Assistant works mainly with the Sixth Form but each Fourth and Fifth Form set
has the chance to work with them once a week.
