In years three to six, we offer a relevant, broad, vibrant and ambitious MFL (French) curriculum that will inspire and excite our pupils using a wide variety of topics and themes. All pupils will be expected to achieve their full potential by encouraging high expectations and excellent standards in their foreign language learning. The aim being that pupils will build confidence while learning new skills, feel willing and able to continue studying languages beyond key stage 2 and ultimately become good global communicators. The intent is that all pupils will develop a genuine interest and positive curiosity about foreign languages, finding them enjoyable and stimulating. Learning another language will also offer pupils the opportunity to explore relationships between language and identity, develop a deeper understanding of other cultures and the world around them with a better awareness of self, others and cultural differences. The intention is that they will be working towards becoming life-long language learners.

All classes will have access to a very high-quality foreign languages curriculum using the Language Angels scheme of work and resources. This will progressively develop pupil skills in French through regularly taught and well-planned weekly lessons. Children will progressively acquire, use and apply a growing bank of vocabulary, language skills and grammatical knowledge organised around age-appropriate topics and themes. These will be used as building blocks of language into more complex, fluent and authentic language.

All children have free access to the Language Angels App, which enables all pupils to access fun, interactive games and brilliant karaoke songs at home that are linked to the units they are learning in school. Download the app here:  https://www.languageangels.com/schools/apps

Children participate in an annual French Cultural Day, where they can explore key traditions and celebrations in France. These days are designed to enthuse and excite the pupils but also deepen their historical and cultural awareness of both the country and the language.
