Language Hub: German A level Edexcel

Our Sixth Form Open Evening will take place on Thursday 19th November. As this is always a very popular event, we run three separate booking slots throughout the evening to help us accommodate as many families as possible and ensure everyone has the opportunity to visit.

Booking slots will become available from 16th October. We would strongly recommend booking as soon as bookings open, as spaces can fill quickly.

We look forward to welcoming you and giving you the opportunity to find out more about our Sixth Form, meet our staff and students explore the fantastic opportunities available to our students.

If you have any questions in the meantime, please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Applications Open – 2nd November 2026

Applications Close – 30th June 2027

Entry Requirements –We do have entry recommendations for some courses, especially A-levels, as we would not want you to start a course that would not be suitable for you. We want to give you the best chance of future success.

The course programmes are flexible: students can mix Level 3 courses with Level 2 courses, or A-levels with BTECs. We provide impartial advice and guidance and seek to put you on the courses you want and are likely to be successful in.

Students are expected to study up to 3 A level equivalent subjects (this can be from either A levels and/or Level 3 BTEC subjects) building their own personalised combination of Level 3 subjects OR a full time Level 2 course.

The Sixth Form runs on a flexible timetable with some courses running until 6.00pm. This flexibility means we can offer as much as possible, to as many as possible, as often as possible.

How to Apply – Applications are currently closed. Please check back at the beginning of November to submit your application.

In our increasingly interconnected, globalised world, the ability to speak another language opens the door to wider academic and professional opportunities.

Learning a foreign language improves career prospects, facilitates travel, and enables the discovery of diverse cultures and communities.

Additionally, consider the KLS Language Academy course, as it offers an alternative pathway for studying languages.

In year 1, students study aspects of the social context, together with elements of artistic life in German-speaking countries.

In year 2, further aspects of the social background are covered, focusing on issues such as life for those on the margins of society, in addition to examining the positive influences that diversity brings.

Topics include education and work, music and festivals, art, changes in society, immigration, history and political trends.

Students also study two literary works – one book and one film – analysing and responding critically in writing to these in German.

Paper 1: Listening, Reading and Translation (40% of A Level)

Paper 2: Written response to works and translation (30% of A Level)

Paper 3: Speaking (30% of A Level)
