Languages

Pupils at Hovingham CE VC and St Hilda’s, Ampleforth CE VC Primary Schools follow the agreed scheme of work for French drawn up by North Yorkshire LEA. KS2 pupils receive a French lesson each fortnight taught by a native French speaker.

Intent:

• Provide children with linguistic opportunities to prepare them for secondary school and to provide the foundation for learning further languages
• To instil an appreciation of other cultures
• To increase the children’s knowledge of other cultures and ways of life
• To be able to respond in another language on a basic level

Implementation:

• Fortnightly opportunities to practice speaking and writing, following a progressive scheme of work developed by NYCC.

Impact:

• As they move through the school children speak with increasing confidence and fluency.
• Children’s knowledge of other cultures is increased
• Stereotyping is addressed through investigation and discussion of other cultures.
