French – Subject Intent

We will enable children to participate in a rapidly changing world in which work and other activities are often carried out in languages other than English.

Our children will develop lifelong language learning skills and develop their capability in the use of Primary Languages to promote initiative, confidence and independent learning and encourage diversity within society.
