Languages

Your MFL co-ordinator is Mrs Fenton

From September 2023 we are excited to announce we started teaching Spanish! This is taught in a dedicated classroom and ensures the subject is taught to a high standard. All KS2 are taught by Mrs Sargeant, who lived in Spain for a number of years. We use a scheme of work called Language Angels to ensure there is progression and coverage against the National Curriculum. We also teach languages throughout school through focus days, e.g. European Day of Languages, as well as in Topics. 

The National Curriculum for Languages aims to ensure that all pupils:

•  understand and respond to spoken and written language from a variety of authentic sources
•  speak with increasing confidence, fluency and spontaneity, finding ways of communicating what they want to say, including through discussion and asking questions, and continually improving the accuracy of their pronunciation and intonation
•  can write at varying length, for different purposes and audiences, using the variety of grammatical structures that they have learnt
• discover and develop an appreciation of a range of writing in the language studied.
