French

Intent – At Parkdale Primary School, we believe that learning a foreign language broadens children’s horizons and helps them to develop as confident, respectful and curious global citizens. Through our French curriculum, delivered using the Language Angels scheme of work, pupils progressively develop their skills in listening, speaking, reading and writing whilst building a secure understanding of vocabulary and grammar. We aim to provide an engaging and inclusive curriculum that fosters a love of language learning, promotes an appreciation of different cultures and traditions, and equips pupils with the knowledge and confidence needed to continue their language-learning journey beyond Key Stage 2.
