Modern Foreign Languages

Modern Foreign Languages are taught by a specialist teacher as a timetabled subject in Years 3 and 4. In addition, she also teaches the Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 pupils for one session per week.  We believe this early start to learning a foreign language is very important.

Language learning has an important part to play in general education at primary level. Learning other languages supports language and literacy development and compliments learning across the curriculum.

It develops knowledge of other countries and promotes positive attitudes towards other cultures and speakers of other languages.

At Stoke Prior First School the children learn French.  There is a strong focus on speaking and listening, along with some written work.  Tout Le Monde is the scheme of work that is followed but it is supplemented with many other activities and resources.
