Our approach

At Ark Castledown it is our job to prepare our pupils and introduce them to modern foreign languages, and in turn cultures beyond their own in an engaging and innovative way. Our year 3 children spend a term learning about the culture and geography of France before learning the language which continues through KS2.

Our engaging MFL curriculum, which is taught through rhymes, songs and has practical communication at the heart, sparks our children’s curiosity and fosters an appreciation of other cultures. As well as expanding the horizons of our children’s, our aim through quality first MFL teaching is to give our children the firm foundations they need to go onto excel in their learning of languages in KS3.  

To support our teaching of French, we use the resources provided by Language Angels.
