Our high-quality French curriculum is planned and taught from Year 2 through to Year 6. It fosters pupils’ curiosity and deepens their understanding of languages beyond their own. It engages and inspires our pupils to develop a love of languages, other cultures and their traditions. It provides an appropriate balance of spoken and written language and lays the foundations for further foreign language teaching at Key Stage 3 and beyond. It enables pupils to understand and communicate ideas, facts and feelings in speech and writing, focused on familiar and routine matters, using their knowledge of phonology, grammatical structures and vocabulary. It provides opportunities for pupils to communicate for practical purposes and appreciate that languages have similarities as well as differences.r learning of French is provided through many language acquisition activities including games and songs. We aim to offer pupils a series of valuable experiences which cover all the different aspects of the curriculum.

Since September 2014, the new National Curriculum has made learning a language compulsory in Key Stage 2. We chose Primary Languages Network’s team to support us in delivering this due to their knowledge, background, standards, and teaching style. With Primary Languages Network, our teachers are able to learn on-the-go, teach interactively, attend CPD events, have the opportunity to practice conversationally and use of DVDs and online resources during class.

Due to our mixed year group classes, we have adapted the delivery of the curriculum.  This ensures that each class and year group makes progress as they move through the school.  Working with Primary Languages Network we have tailored out programme to ensure every child builds upon previous learning.

Our programme of study is over a two year period.  We are currently on Cycle A.
