Languages (French)

Across The Peak Federation, our overall aim is for pupils to leave school being able to converse in and understand a Modern Foreign Language, which was chosen as French due to staff expertise in this particular language. We aim to build children’s natural curiosity in language and develop their enthusiasm, understanding and love of language and culture. 

We are fortunate to work closely with a teacher, who specialises in French and they have supported us to develop our own two-year cycle using Rachel Hawkes French Programme supported by using resources from Lightbulb Languages. Our language teaching and learning provides pupils with everyday language essentials, so that they can converse with other French speakers, as well as read, understand and write simple French texts. Our aim is to develop children’s vocabulary and grammar, as well as support children’s pronunciation by teaching phonics using BBC Bitesize Programme. Children will learn to decode language, which they can then transfer to any language learning in the future.
