Why French?

Buckingham Park Primary School has chosen to teach French as their Modern Foreign Language; a language that is spoken by approximately 320 million people in all areas across the world. Additionally, as a close neighbour of England, France is a country likely visited by many of our families, and the ability to interact with people when visiting a foreign country is of great benefit.

How is French taught at Buckingham Park Primary School?

French is taught using the Language Angels scheme of learning, which was in part, chosen for its strong cross-curricular links to other subjects, e.g. history, geography and religious education. Language Angels also supports the learning of all learners and offers adaptations for children of varying levels of confidence and ability. The three ‘pillars’ of language learning - phonics, grammar and vocabulary - are all built into Language Angels and, as children progress through the units and teaching types, previous learning is regularly revisited and consolidated.
