What is French?
French allows the children to learn a modern foreign language that sets the foundations for further foreign language teaching at key stage 3. The teaching provides an appropriate balance of spoken and written language; enabling pupils to express their ideas and thoughts in French and to understand and respond to its speakers, both in speech and in writing.
What does it look like at SJS?
At Shakespeare Junior School, French is taught on a weekly basis as part of the timetabled curriculum using the programme 'Language Angels.' It is taught through a variety of spoken, reading and written activities, games and songs.
