Learning a foreign language gives children the opportunity to broaden their horizons, connect with other cultures and develop a deeper understanding of the world. At our school, we work in partnership with School Improvement Liverpool’s MFL team, combining the expertise of advisory teachers and native-level foreign language tutors to deliver a rich and ambitious curriculum.
The National Curriculum for Languages states that a high-quality language education should foster children’ curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world. Through weekly lessons in Spanish, supported by high-quality resources, staff training and consultation, children not only learn to communicate in another language but also develop a genuine enthusiasm for language learning.
Through the delivery of MFL, we aim to improve children’ skills in these four areas:
Listening and responding
Speaking
Reading and responding
Writing
Aims
Our modern foreign languages curriculum, delivered with the support of School Improvement Liverpool, aims to ensure that all children:
Develop a love of languages and confidence in speaking, listening, reading and writing.
Acquire the vocabulary, pronunciation and grammatical structures needed to communicate in Spanish (and French).
Gain cultural knowledge and appreciation, learning how language and culture are connected.
Build the foundations for future language learning at secondary school and beyond.
Learn from skilled, native-level speakers who model accurate language use and bring learning to life.
Develop resilience, curiosity and a global outlook through meaningful language experiences.
In club today we have further developed our coding skills to use text to speech blocks and translating languages. We created sprites and then asked them to speak and translated it into a different language.
