Languages Curriculum

At Handforth Grange we believe that regardless of gender, ability or background our children should have access to a relevant, broad, vibrant and ambitious foreign languages curriculum that will inspire and excite them using a wide variety of topics and themes. All pupils will be expected to achieve their full potential by encouraging high expectations and excellent standards in their foreign language learning – the ultimate aim being that pupils will feel willing and able to continue studying languages beyond key stage 2.

The four key language learning skills; listening, speaking, reading and writing are taught all necessary grammar will be covered in an age-appropriate way from Year 1-6. This will enable pupils to use and apply their learning in a variety of contexts, laying down solid foundations for future language learning. Learning a second language will also offer pupils the opportunity to explore relationships between language and identity, develop a deeper understanding of other cultures and the world around them with a better awareness of self, others and cultural differences. The intention is that they will be working towards becoming life-long language learners.
