Foreign Languages
Intent
Our school is a multi-lingual school with many children speaking more than one language. We are committed to promoting diversity through irresistible learning, where learning is at the heart of living.
Our aim is to broaden children’s understanding of the world and develop strong, life-long linguistic skills. We want to inspire pupils to envisage a world in which they can live in harmony with other cultures by creating inquisitive, tolerant and understanding minds of the future.
Pupils in Years 3 to 6 learn Spanish, taught by our own Spanish speaking teacher
Implementation
Children learn new topics and knowledge is reinforced during every lesson, which is the key aspect of learning a language. Children are given plenty of opportunity to practise, and therefore embed, key vocabulary. This is the first step towards becoming independent as a language learner.
We believe that becoming confident with a language is a platform for creativity both in and out the classroom. Within the classroom, children are encouraged to take part in role-play using entirely in the target language, or to work independently to challenge their writing skills.
