Learning another language opens doors to new cultures, experiences and ways of communicating. Our Modern Foreign Languages curriculum aims to inspire curiosity, build confidence and encourage children to see themselves as capable language learners.

Through songs, stories, games, conversations and practical activities, children experience the enjoyment of communicating in another language while developing an appreciation of different cultures and traditions.

In Key Stage 2, learning is carefully structured so that vocabulary, pronunciation and grammatical understanding are introduced, revisited and extended, enabling children to progress from familiar words and phrases to increasingly independent speaking, reading and writing.

Teachers use clear modelling, repetition, visual prompts and supportive opportunities for practice, adapting activities so that all children can participate and achieve. Learning is further enriched through our MPU courses, where children have opportunities to explore additional languages, broaden their cultural understanding and discover new ways of communicating.
