Bonjour comment traduiriez-vous "première ES" ?
Je traduis des relevés de notes, de première et terminale.

Première ES (Year 12 - leading to Baccalauréat ES "Economics and Social Sciences")
you have to mention "Baccalauréat", not just assume that the reader will know about it.

: 11th grade refers to the US school system; Asker has stated that this is for the UK.

Première Economique et Sociale (Year 12 - main subject, economics and social sciences)
Première in France is equivalent to year 12 (previously, lower-sixth) in England and Wales
See for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_in_England
Like pooja_chic, I'd leave the original title in French with an explanation in brackets

: yes, for UK. I'd probably say main STREAM rather than subject

Thanks gallagy2 :-) Not sure about "stream" which has connotations of "groupes de niveau" not present in the source text. And Econ. and SS are the major subjects...

: May not be quite clear to people unfamiliar with the French system. Also agree with gallagy2 about 'stream'

On reflection, agree that Daryo's suggestion wd be clearer. Still don't understand the 'streaming' business. When I did A Levels (many yrs ago!) we were not "streamed"; just those doing sciences, languages etc. Maybe it's different now! But majority wins!

It will very much depend on how much your readership knows about the French system...
