French 

French is taught to all Key Stage 2 pupils as part of the school curriculum.  We believe that learning a language encourages children to be curious and deepen  their understanding of the world.

 

This school includes a large number of children from a range of cultures with first languages other than English. This is a situation to be celebrated and used to widen the horizons of all our pupils.

 

Our curriculum ensures that all pupils:         

                                  

• Understand and can respond to spoken and written language
• Speak with confidence, fluency and can communicate through discussion and asking and answering questions.
• Pronounce words accurately
• Can write at different levels for a purpose
• Discover and develop an enthusiasm for language

 

We follow the National Curriculum 2014 and the Framework for Languages. See the link

They do this through games, rhymes, songs and role play.
