Modern Foreign Languages National Curriculum

The national curriculum for languages aims to ensure that all pupils:

  • understand and respond to spoken and written language from a variety of authentic sources
  • speak with increasing confidence, fluency and spontaneity, finding ways of communicating what they want to say, including through discussion and asking questions, and continually improving the accuracy of their pronunciation and intonation
  • can write at varying length, for different purposes and audiences, using the variety of grammatical structures that they have learnt
  • discover and develop an appreciation of a range of writing in the language studied.

Yearly Overview

Useful Links

Language-Angels-Header

Langauge Angels is a great resource to support French. The children have individual login details to access French games and fun learning at home. 

Intent

Implementation

St Bridget's provides French language learning in Years 3, 4, 5 and 6. Each class aims to include 1 x 30 minute MFL lesson in their weekly timetable.

The lessons are made to be fun, exciting and engaging for the children. Therefore, we use a variety of teaching methods such as; games, role-play, songs, videos and written activites. We realise that this approach promotes a postive attitude in the childen whilst learning a different language. 

Teachers plan lessons with access to the Language Angels - this resouce supports supports staff in ensuring that their delivery of French is accurate, even if they are not a French speaker themselves.

At St Bridget's there is a clear progression of skills and understanding that builds through Key Stage based on the National Curriculum Programme of Study.

 

Impact

The intended impact of the MFL Curriculum is that the majority of children in each year group make good progress. Teachers will make informal assessments at the end of each topic. 

In addition, it is the intended impact that the children:

  • are inspired by the MFL Curriculum and want to learn more
  • show the progression in their skills, knowledge and understanding in the work in their books
  • can discuss their learning and remember what they have learnt
  • learn about the country France and their culture.

Languages Day at St Bridget's 2025

We strive to provide the children with wider opportunities across all areas of the curriculum. St Bridget's has made links with a school in France. The children enjoy writing and recieving letters from their French pen pals.
