The Laurels Primary school’s aim is that all pupils will develop a genuine interest and positive curiosity about foreign languages, predominantly French.

Learning a second language will offer pupils the opportunity to explore relationships between language and identity, develop a deeper understanding of other cultures and the world around them with a better awareness of self, key individuals and cultural differences. The intention is that pupils will feel able and encouraged to continue studying languages beyond key stage 2 and ultimately be working towards becoming life-long language learners.

Curriculum sequencing

The curriculum is designed to support the children to develop the confidence to communicate in another language and increase their cultural capital by learning about another culture.
