MFL - French

We aim to broaden our children’s horizons and introduce them to the wider world, enabling our children to celebrate and welcome differences in our world. Learning a language provide the perfect vehicle to do this whilst also developing an understanding of different countries, cultures and the world around us.  By introducing and exposing our children to this they will have a deepened ability to show respect and play a valuable part in our global society.  To achieve this end point we aim, though our Modern Foreign Languages curriculum, to inspire a love of language as part of their lifelong journey of learning.
