Hermitage Primary School

Subject Leader: Mrs J. Cox

At Hermitage Primary School our long term vision for Languages is for all children to: 

• Develop an interest, curiosity and deeper understanding of the French language and culture through listening, speaking, reading and writing in a variety of contexts.
• Develop a love of learning languages, which builds foundations for, and continues into the next phase of their education.
• Understand and respond to spoken and written French from a variety of authentic sources, for example, songs, rhymes, stories, video clips.
• Speak in French with increasing confidence, fluency and spontaneity, expressing ideas and thoughts and finding ways of communicating what they want to say, including through discussion and asking questions, and continually improving the accuracy of their pronunciation and intonation.
• Can write in French at varying length, for different purposes and audiences, including for practical purposes using the variety of grammatical structures that they have learnt.
• Discover and develop an appreciation of a range of writing in the French language.
