Our Modern Foreign Languages curriculum goes far beyond learning French. While pupils develop their speaking, listening, reading and writing skills in French, we also place a strong emphasis on celebrating the rich diversity of languages and cultures within our school community and beyond.
We are proud of the wide range of languages spoken by our pupils and their families, and we actively create opportunities to recognise and celebrate this. Throughout the year, children take part in a variety of international activities that help them develop a broader understanding of the world. These include cultural celebration days, language-themed assemblies, and classroom activities that explore traditions, food, music and customs from different countries.
Pupils are encouraged to share their own linguistic and cultural backgrounds, helping to build confidence and foster a sense of pride in their identity. This also allows their peers to gain first-hand insights into different cultures, promoting respect, curiosity and inclusion
