Modern Foreign Languages (French)

 Curriculum Statement for MfL at St. Wilfrid's CofE Primary School
 
Intent:

At St. Wilfrid's CofE Primary School, our intent for teaching French is to foster a love for language learning and to ignite curiosity in exploring, discovering, and creating within the French language. We aim to develop strong listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in our students, enhancing not only their linguistic abilities but also their cultural understanding of the French-speaking world. Our focus goes beyond the National Curriculum in England, emphasising these key areas to nurture well-rounded language learners.

Implementation:

Our French curriculum at St. Wilfrid's CofE Primary School will be delivered through high-quality, regularly taught, and well-planned lessons using the Language Angels scheme of work. Teachers will incorporate engaging activities that encourage students to actively participate in learning the language. Through IT, a variety of supporting resources and teaching methodologies, students will have the opportunity to develop their language skills in a supportive and stimulating environment.

Impact:

The impact of our French teaching will be measured by the noticeable increase in challenge for students, their ability to apply acquired language skills, and the continuous building upon previous knowledge. Formative assessments will be used to track student progress throughout the learning process, ensuring that individual needs are met. Additionally, summative assessments conducted on Insight will provide valuable insights into students' overall language proficiency and growth over time.

At St. Wilfrid's CofE Primary School, we are committed to providing a robust French curriculum that equips our students with valuable language skills, cultural appreciation, and a lifelong passion for learning.
