Languages – curriculum information

At Bricknell Primary School, the teaching of Modern Foreign Languages has been carefully considered to enable our pupils to become confident linguists. We strive to enable children to become passionate, curious and confident about their ability to learn another language by the time they finish their primary education. We want our children to be able to communicate with others, including people from outside the UK and to discover more about other cultures and peoples, including the context in which a modern foreign language is rooted.

At Bricknell, we follow the Language Angels Scheme, alongside this our highly skilled subject leader has carefully worked to create a Curriculum Overview Document where objectives for each year group are progressively mapped out to ensure our pupils are given the acquired skills and knowledge the further their education journey into KS3.

Our aim is to provide inclusive and aspirational environments and learning experiences where pupils thrive and build the cultural capital they need to make aspirational choices about their own futures, overcoming any barriers. In order to achieve this, our curriculum is underpinned by the principles highlighted in our Aspiration Curriculum.
