FOOD, NUTRITION AND HEALTH  AS/A2

 

You will study all aspects of nutrition in relation to the health of the family and society.  A large part of the course is based on the scientific and nutritional aspects of food, which will include both scientific and practical food investigation.  It is not necessary for you to have studied Food and Nutrition or Catering at GCSE but an interest in food, nutrition and health would be an advantage.  You need to be aware that there will be additional costs for this course as the work we do will require you to use food products and ingredients.

FRENCH  AS/A2

 

During the two years students will cover a variety of contemporary topics with the emphasis placed on oral work, resulting in students being able to speak confidently about all aspects of life in French speaking countries.  Year 12 students are encouraged to participate in the French work experience trip.  Material is taken from a variety of authentic resources and there is also exposure to aspects of modern French literature.  Students are also encouraged to participate in trips to see films or plays in the foreign language and to explore, as widely as possible, all aspects of French culture.
