Our MFL curriculum will ensure all our children develop a love of language learning through positive experiences that will lay the foundations for future studies. As a result, our children will be able to understand and communicate their ideas, and those of others, in a foreign language. It will facilitate openness to culture, traditions and customs. They will be lifelong language learners in order to know their place in a multicultural society and become global citizens.
