Foreign Languages                                   

“If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.” Nelson Mandela

Learning a foreign language is a necessary part of being a member of a multi-cultural society and provides an opening to other cultures. It is our intent at Ferney Lee that all children are taught to develop an interest in learning about other languages and cultures in a way that is enjoyable and stimulating. Our current language taught is French, however we strive to provide children with opportunities to experience a range of other languages. We aim to embed the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing necessary to enable children to use and apply their French learning in a variety of contexts and lay the foundations for future language learning.

French is taught weekly throughout Key Stage 2, following the KAPOW scheme.
