French

Intent:

A high quality language education should foster children’s curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world. We want the children at Hawkshead Esthwaite Primary School to be inspired by languages and other cultures. We want them to be confident to communicate in French using both spoken and written language. We aim to give our children the foundation for language learning that encourages and enables them to apply their skills to learning further languages, developing a strong understanding of the English language, facilitating future study and opening opportunities to study and work in other countries in the future.

Implementation:

Children are given opportunities to communicate for practical purposes around familiar subjects and routines. We provide balanced opportunities for communication in both spoken and written French, although in LKS2 we focus on oral skills, before incorporating written French in UKS2. We revisit key skills and vocabulary repeatedly through songs and games, allowing pupils to revise and build on previous learning. Cross curricular links are made where possible, allowing children to make connections and apply their language skills to other areas of learning.

Impact:

Pupils understand diversity and are prepared for life in a multi-cultural society. The knowledge, opportunities and experiences children are exposed to provide them with a greater understanding and tolerance of others. Pupils leave school equipped with a range of language-learning skills to enable them to study French, or any other language, with confidence at Key Stage 3.

Enrichment:

We have a French speaking governor who comes into lessons at least once every half term to support the children in practical tasks.
