Our French scheme of work aims to inspire pupils to become curious, confident and enthusiastic language learners with a broad understanding of the French language and culture.

The intention is for pupils to develop the skills to listen, speak, read and write in French, while building the confidence to express themselves and explore new ways of thinking through language learning.

The scheme is designed to develop pupils’ understanding of how learning another language connects people, cultures, and communities worldwide. The aim is to encourage pupils to become open-minded, active citizens who can appreciate diversity and engage meaningfully with the wider world.

The French curriculum starts in Year 3 (KS2) and is designed to be both accessible and ambitious, ensuring that all pupils are supported to participate fully and achieve their potential.
