Modern Foreign Languages (MFL)

MFL Intent

At Springwood Federation, our intent is to promote an awareness of mutual respect, diversity, and global citizenship through a high-quality French curriculum. We aim to foster pupils’ curiosity about language learning and an understanding of French culture, providing them with meaningful and purposeful experiences that connect to real-world contexts.

Our curriculum encourages pupils to develop communication skills, cultural knowledge, and confidence in using French, laying a strong foundation for future language learning and broadening their horizons.

MFL Implementation

Our French curriculum is delivered using the Language Angels scheme, which provides a structured and engaging programme of study tailored to primary learners.

Implementation includes:

A long-term plan that sequences language learning progressively, covering listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills.
Thematic units that incorporate vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and cultural insights.
Use of interactive activities, songs, games, and digital resources to motivate pupils and reinforce learning.
Opportunities for pupils to practise conversational French in authentic contexts.
Differentiated teaching and support to meet the needs of all learners, including SEND pupils.
Integration of British Values by promoting respect for cultural diversity and encouraging positive attitudes towards learning languages.
Regular assessment and feedback to monitor progress and inform planning.
