French
At Springfield Academy, we believe learning a foreign language is an essential part of being a member of a multi-cultural society and that it provides a window to other cultures. Our languages curriculum fosters children’s curiosity and deepens their understanding of the wider world, by providing opportunities for the children to explore the life-style and culture of another land through the medium of its language.
Our aim is to enable all children to understand and respond in French, both in speech and in writing for practical use in everyday situations in order to adequately prepare them for KS3.
At Springfield Academy, we follow the Early Start French scheme, which incorporates conversational development through speaking, reading and writing to give children a rounded and immersive experience of French.
