MFL (French)
At Sandal Magna, we celebrate languages and recognise how talented many of our pupils are in this particular area of the curriculum. As dual-language learners, we are lucky that the children get to experience an extensive range of languages throughout school and this makes it such a diverse and special place to be. Through learning a common language, children of all different backgrounds and cultures are brought together to practice the fundamental elements of language learning in a safe and secure environment. Children are able to develop their confidence and oracy skills as well as gaining a deeper understanding into a different culture and the traditions that sit alongside the language. Having the opportunity and the discipline to learn a new language encourages perseverance and determination and greatly improves interactions and social skills. We aim for all of our pupils to leave us with these qualities along with a curiosity, enthusiasm and a love of languages.
