Children are taught a foreign language to help provide a valuable educational, social and cultural experience.

The Programme of Study has been compiled based on recommendations from CILT (The National Centre for Languages) and draws from various sources.

​

The emphasis in the first year of learning French at Primary level is very much on developing listening skills, closely followed by speaking skills; this is why there is a clear focus on storytelling, finger rhymes and singing traditional songs.

​

Pupils at Old Hall develop literacy and communication skills that may aid future language learning. Learning a foreign language also provides cross-curricular links in conjunction with other subjects.
