MFL at Cliffe Hill
Curriculum Statement
To enable our children to celebrate and welcome differences in our world, it is vital they have an understanding of different languages and countries. 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 French curriculum, to inspire a love of language as part of their lifelong journey of learning.
At Cliffe Hill, we aim that through our French curriculum, we will:
- Help pupils to develop an interest in learning other languages.
- Introduce young children to another language in a way that is enjoyable and stimulating.
- Encourage children’s confidence and creative skills through the exploration of another language.
- Stimulate and encourage children’s curiosity about language.
- Help children develop their awareness of cultural differences in other countries.
- Help pupils develop listening, speaking, reading and writing skills.
- Lay the foundations for future language learning.
Cliffe Hill pupils show a love of learning languages. They are able to identify commonalities between English and French and use critical thinking to develop their understanding. The level at which they can communicate in French and apply their skills is evident in their books, through spoken activities/games and in pupil voice discussions. Our pupils show an interest in French culture and express a desire to travel, experience the world and communicate with those who speak different languages.
Cliffe Hill, has adopted the Language Angels for French. Please see our coverage for the year and the curriculum statement below.
