We aim to foster our children’s curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world. Our children are taught to express their ideas and thoughts in another language and to understand and respond to its speakers, both in speech and in writing. We provide the foundation for learning further languages, equipping pupils to study and work in other countries. The learning of a language provides a valuable educational, social and cultural experience for our pupils, helping them to develop communication skills in speaking, listening, reading and writing, with an aim of making substantial progress in one language. The children’s knowledge of how language works will be developed to lay the foundations for further language learning in future.
We use the Language Angels resource in key stage two focusing on French. This develops confidence in speaking, listening and grammar. The school has signage around the school in French and pupils hear class commands in French!
