GCSE

We run two GCSE Dutch Classes, one for adults and one for children. Classes are kept to a maximum of 7 students.

Adults:

We run a 31 hour part-time GCSE Dutch course each year at our school in Oxford for adults starting at the end of September. This course is for those who have attended the equivalent of about 50 to 60 hours of Dutch lessons. It is also suitable for adults who have grown up in Dutch or Flemish families, or who have lived for extended periods in the Netherlands or Flemish speaking Belgium.

This courses is designed to prepare you for your GCSE Dutch examinations and is aimed at achieving top grades. It closely follows the topics and grammar from the National Curriculum for GCSE Dutch. This is an intensive GCSE course to be completed in one academic year.

Children:

We run a 29 hour part-time GCSE Dutch class for Dutch speaking children who would like to prepare for their GCSE Dutch exams. This course focuses on writing, grammar, and exam training, and includes mock exams. This class would suit children entering year 10 or year 11 in September 2008.
