French German and Spanish are all offered to A S and A 2 levels  at Cranbrook School. The Welsh  Examination Board (WJEC) is used for all 3 languages and the topics  covered are the same in which ever language. These are:

AS  level:
Education, Work and Future Plans, Sport and Leisure
Young People and Their Problems, Travel and Tourism

A2 level:
Contemporary France, Germany, Spain (and French/German /Spanish  speaking countries).
The Media, films and/or literature texts
The Environment and Conservation.

The text books used are:
French: Tout  Droit, Droit au But,  Zenith,  Mot ˆa Mot, French Grammar  Practice, Elan 1 & 2.
German: Etappen,  Ziele.
Spanish: Sigue  1, Sigue 2, An Advanced Spanish Grammar, Palabra por Palabra, Animos 1 & 2, Ponte al Dia

All three languages are popular AS and A 2 subjects, both for those  wishing to read languages at university and for those wishing to broaden  their linguistic studies. A language can combine well with any  A level subject.


French and Spanish assistants help with oral work in Y12 and 13 and all speaking examinations are conducted by an external examiner.

We hope that students will read around their subject(s) as much as  possible, and links with, and trips to, the target language countries  are encouraged. Indeed, Cranbrook School, now has a vibrant  science link with the Lycee de L'Escaut  in Valenciennes and an active exchange with St Jean de Luz in South West France.
