Language Progression KS2 French 2026
Our goal for the languages curriculum is that children gain confidence with listening, speaking, reading and writing French through our three ‘big ideas’.
-
Phonics – the key components of the sound-writing relationship.
-
Grammar – the essential building blocks required to create simple sentences independently.
-
Communication – the ability to understand what someone is saying and respond, both verbally or in written form.
Learning a language is a liberation from insularity and provides an essential opening to other cultures.
We aim to give our children a high-quality languages education which fosters pupils’ curiosity and deepens their understanding of the world. Our teaching aims to enable pupils to express their ideas and thoughts in another language and to understand and respond to its speakers, both in speech and in writing.
Miss Helen Smith is our French lead. Please contact her via the school office (01772 653600) with any queries or questions.
