To enable our children to celebrate and welcome differences in our world, it is vital they have an understanding of different languages and countries. By introducing and exposing our children to this they will have a deepened ability to show respect and play a valuable part in our global society. To achieve this end point we aim, through our MFL curriculum, to inspire a love of language as part of their lifelong journey of learning.

Our aims in teaching a language are:

• To develop an interest in learning other languages
• To introduce young children to another language in a way that is enjoyable and stimulating
• To encourage children’s curiosity about language and the world around them
• To help children develop their awareness of cultural differences in other countries
• To encourage children to express their ideas in another language
• To read books in another language
• To understand and respond in speech and writing
