Intent

Our aim is to ensure that pupils begin to understand and communicate a new language with growing confidence, wherever possible through using it in everyday school life, giving them a sound basis for further study at Key Stage 3 and beyond. We also aim to ensure our pupils learn about different countries and their people, have an increasing awareness of other cultures whilst also celebrating the different cultures and languages spoken in our own school.
