Languages
Modern Foreign Languages at SuttonOak CofE Primary School intends to expose our pupils to a variety of languages and cultures, including those represented in our school. We aim to celebrate the diversity of language and we hope to foster pupils’ curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world and other cultures. This aligns with our Christian vision, where we value and respect every individual as part of God’s family, encouraging compassion, understanding, and global awareness.
The main focus of MFL-specific lessons will be to give pupils a well-rounded knowledge of the basics of our chosen language: Spanish. From Year 3 to Year 6 there will be a clear progression of skills which involves new learning and recapping on previous teaching, building vocabulary and language. In these weekly lessons, we will provide an appropriate balance of spoken and written language that will lay the foundations for further foreign language teaching at Key Stage 3. Pupils will be supported to understand and communicate ideas, facts and feelings in speech and writing, with a main focus being on practical communication. of each individual learner.
