Modern Foreign Languages A different language is a different vision of life - Federico Fellini

Our Intent at Swinton Queen

At Swinton Queen, we provide high-quality exposure to different languages in order to enhance our student's 'Culture Capital', as they become more aware of different cultures, people and points of view.

Through the use of French, we aim to broaden our children's cultural language and develop their linguistic skills by underpinning the curriculum into the following areas:

Speaking and Listening

Reading and Writing

Songs, Stories and Rhymes

Grammar

Alongside this, phonetic knowledge of the French language is crucial. The choice of vocabulary ensures exposure to all the key phonetic sounds, with the ability to build sentences, using grammatical knowledge, over the course of KS2.

Our Implementation at Swinton Queen

To ensure that the aims of the Language Programme of Study for KS2 are met, we employ The Mixed Age French Scheme by Cave Languages.

Lessons are designed to be progressive and build on prior learning, moving from word to sentence level over the course of KS2 using a 2 year rolling cycle.

Formative assessment in each lesson informs the planning and teaching of subsequent lessons. The lesson plans indicate which activity is an opportunity to assess progress and is linked to the KS2 targets.
