At our school, our children are offered the opportunity to learn about different cultures and understand diversity.

Intent 

Curriculum design, coverage and appropriateness 

  • The curriculum is age-appropriate, allows for progression and is supported by electronic and physical resources. 
  • All pupils have access to events and activities throughout the year which develop their cultural understanding. 

 

Implementation 

Curriculum delivery 

Teaching (pedagogy) 

Assessment (formative and summative)  

  • French is currently taught to mixed year groups: Y3/4 and Y5/6 using the NYCC scheme. It is delivered by a French specialist teacher who grew up in France. 

Assessment  

  • Formative assessment takes place during and/or after each lesson and additional support and/or resources are available as required. Assessment can include peer and self-marking, where appropriate. 
  • Balance is used as an online assessment tool for French. 

 

Impact 

Attainment and progress (including national tests and assessments) 

  • EYFS/KS1 

French is not taught in EYFS or KS1.  

 

  • KS2  

The standards in French are not formally assessed. However, all children in KS2 have access to a French curriculum, based on the National Curriculum for Languages, which provides access to age-appropriate content in order to ensure pupils are adequately prepared for the transition to Year 7, in relation to foreign language knowledge and skills.  

Balance online assessment system is used to record achievement against the NC objectives for Languages.
