Thundersley Primary School - Modern Foreign Language (M.F.L)

Curriculum

Modern Foreign Language (M.F.L) - French

What will children learn?

At Thundersley Primary School, we aim to inspire pupils’ curiosity and fascination about the world around them through the medium of modern foreign languages. We do this primarily through a high-quality French curriculum, which allows the children to learn to converse, read and write. We speak and listen to French during our school day with specific subject time dedicated to also learning to read and write the language. We ensure children are aware of the cultural diversity of the customs and traditions across the French-speaking world.
