Intent:

Learning a foreign language provides an opening to other cultures and promotes diversity and tolerance. A high-quality languages education should foster students’ curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world. Our KS3 and KS4 curriculum provides a solid basis for transition to the skills required at GCSE level and beyond, whilst giving students the ability and confidence to manipulate and produce the target language confidently and accurately. Learning a language not only helps to develop a cultural awareness but it also promotes problem solving, thinking skills, literacy and numeracy skills. Our curriculum aims to enable pupils to communicate well in French, expressing themselves freely, whilst giving and justifying points of view. We want to make our students aware of the value and importance of learning a language, and we aim to develop their respect for others, both in our community and around the world, building their cultural capital and widening their horizons through the use of authentic materials, class activities, cultural events and trips. We aim to equip our students to study languages post 16, and in the longer term to be able to work with people from around the world and in other countries. We focus on developing their competences in listening, reading, speaking and writing, building up their independence and self-confidence over 5 years
