MFL at St Andrew's

At St Andrew's school, the children are fortunate enough to learn both French and Spanish on their journey through the school.

In Key Stage 1 and Foundation Stage, the children learn French and the lessons are based entirely on speaking and listening skills. We sing a lot of songs and rhymes. Vocabulary is consolidated through games. 

In Key Stage 2 the children learn Spanish. Languages are a compulsory part of the key stage 2 National Curriculum and therefore all 4 skill areas are covered (speaking, listening, reading and writing). The children are regularly monitored for progress and the results form part of their end of year report to parents.
