Learning a foreign language is part of the primary National Curriculum and is a requirement for all children within Key Stage 2 (KS2). Here at Longmoor, we have adopted a whole school approach to the teaching of French to all KS2 pupils. By doing this, children learn to communicate in speech and writing, and respond to a speaker’s thoughts and questions. We aim to provide the foundations for further language learning later on in children’s linguistic journey.

As a school, we follow the Language Angels scheme to ensure children receive the best quality language learning! French lessons are designed to motivate, captivate and interest children from the first moment. They have clear, achievable objectives and incorporate different learning styles. Each lesson, children will cover all four language skills: listening, reading, speaking and writing, to help secure the foundations of their skills. Language Angels provides games and songs to coincide with each topic, so French lessons at Longmoor are always FUN!
