Our MFL curriculum enables children to appreciate and enjoy languages and acquire the skills and confidence to enhance future learning. Children are taught French through engaging and interactive lessons using the Kapow scheme. Lessons combine spoken and written language, sequenced to build children’s phonic and grammar skills. Learning is underpinned by a progression of transferable vocabulary and develops children’s understanding of cognates and language structure.
At Southway, we celebrate the different languages in our school community. We run whole school events, provide a lunchtime and afterschool language clubs and celebrate European Day of Language, with visits from parents who speak another language.
Our curriculum aims to equip the children with the confidence and skills to explore different languages, countries and cultures and become responsible global citizens.
