French

At our school children are taught French during their time in Key Stage Two. Regular  lessons aim to enable pupils to express their ideas and thoughts in another language and to understand and respond to its speakers, both in speech and writing – laying the foundations for further foreign language teaching at Key Stage Three.

Learning a foreign language from a young age has many varied benefits. It liberates children from insularity, fosters curiosity and deepens their understanding of our wider world in providing an opening to other cultures.
