Modern Foreign Languages
Departmental Vision
The Modern Foreign Languages curriculum will create pupils who:
- Have a deep and rich knowledge of a modern foreign language to allow them to communicate in the wider world
- Are confident well-rounded individuals who respect cultural differences
- Value and recognise cultural diversity in our society
Curriculum Design
The KS3 Modern Foreign Languages curriculum is based on the National Curriculum 3 pillars of phonics, grammar and vocabulary, developing linguistic knowledge of French from KS2 and focusing on the skills of reading, listening, speaking and writing. The course teaches the required grammar of the foreign language to enable students to manipulate and use language in context. At KS3, we embed language through work with sentence builders, scaffolding language learning through the EPI process of modelling and practising language before producing language with support and then autonomously.
At KS4, students follow the Edexcel French GSCE Language pathway, deepening their knowledge from KS3 and further developing their ability to manipulate language and use spontaneously in set contexts.
Extracurricular activities
Alongside our mainstream curriculum, we run a Spanish club after school with students who want to develop their conversational Spanish language.
Students are encouraged to use Duolingo to develop a love of languages.
