Languages

At Pinner Park Primary School we believe that children should be exposed to and given the opportunity to learn a foreign language in a relevant and engaging manner. Our intention is that children are taught to develop an interest in learning other languages in a way that is enjoyable and stimulating.

We have chosen French as our main language taught at Key Stage 2, as part of the National Curriculum.
 
At Pinner Park Primary School, we strive to embed the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing necessary to enable children to use and apply their French learning in a variety of contexts and lay the foundations for future language learning. The children will be given a balance of opportunities to speak and write the language. 
 
Through enquiry into the French culture, they will develop a knowledge of the cultural similarities and differences to their own, such as their food, celebrations and traditions, through our protected characteristics, British values and curriculum enrichment opportunities.

How we teach French
At Pinner Park Primary School teachers follow the units set out in the “Salut” programme. This approach teaches French through themed units that aim to provide numerous opportunities to develop their substantive knowledge. These ensure children acquire a bank of vocabulary organised around topics.
 
The scheme provides opportunity for progression as the units in each year group will build on previous learning, developing the children’s disciplinary knowledge of French in logical way.
 
There will be opportunities to speak French, enabling the teachers to correct and refine any mispronunciations. The children will discover many traditions of the French culture through the themes taught, which will develop their understanding of British values.
