MFL in Key Stage 2In my Modern Foreign Language lessons I will be learning French. Through learning basic French vocabulary and grammar I will develop the initial skills, knowledge and understanding to speak, listen, read and write in French. I will learn how to listen to and engage in basic conversations to communicate with others through asking and responding to questions and statements. The development of my skills and vocabulary will enable me to read simple well known texts like poems, songs, rhymes and simple stories. I will be able to write captions, labels and build sentences using the key features and patterns of the language. Studying French as a Modern Foreign Language, will enable me to develop my knowledge of the country, including key aspects of culture, festivals and traditions. Through my learning I will be able to compare and contrast similarities and differences between family life in France and my own life in the United Kingdom. This will give me the foundational skills to embrace further learning as I progress on my journey and development for the love of learning and applying my skills to the use of foreign languages. This will give me the foundations to apply my knowledge, skills and understanding to embrace further learning as I progress on my journey in developing my love and passion for foreign languages. |

Breadth of Study Map
Below is a link to our Breadth of Study Map for MFL (French).
The breadth of study map ensures that every child receives their full curriculum entitlement as they progress through the school.
We plan and deliver our curriculum on a one year cycle.
Curriculum Milestones and Assesssments
Below are the links to our Curriculum Milestones for each year group. These documents outline what we expect our children to achieve in MFL (French) at the end of each year.
Each area of the Curriculum Milestones links to the MFL (French) curriculum which develops the ‘Oracy’, ‘Literacy’, ‘Intercultural Understanding’, ‘Knowledge About Languages’ and ‘Language Learning Strategies’ of the children.
These areas of the curriculum repeat, adding to the skills and knowledge of the children, every year as the children progress through the curriculum.
Children achieve at a ‘Basic Level’, the Expected Level’, or a ‘Deep Level’. Curriculum Milestones are used as our assessment and tracking tool in MFL (French).
Living & Fulfilling our Christian Vision in MFL
Rooted in Faith; Enriching Young Minds
‘Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop- a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.’
(Matthew 13 Verse 8)
Our parents and carers entrust us with the most precious of gifts in their lives- their children. It is our responsibility to take this most precious of seed and provide them with the best opportunity to grow as individuals and to learn how to contribute to the wider communities they belong to.
We believe that a broad and balanced curriculum, and the daily life and work of our school, provides the deep and fertile soil. This is needed by our pupils, the seeds, to enable them to put down roots for stability, warmth for support and nutrients (knowledge and skills) to flourish.
As the early shoots of growth begin to appear, the individuals in our care not only need a fertile soil but also need the right additional conditions to truly reach their full potential and to prepare them to fulfill their life in the wider world to which they belong. This enrichment is provided through a curriculum where first-hand and real life experiences and opportunities are at its heart. This enrichment enables our children to learn, develop, retain and apply their newly learned knowledge and skills from, and to, the world around them.
By the end of their journey with us, if we have been successful, our seeds will have grown in to strong, flourishing and caring individuals ready for their next stage of learning and will increasingly use their strength, knowledge, skills and love to support and benefit others to flourish- If achieved, this will in time produces a crop greater than that which was originally sown.
