MFL
At Maynards Green we aim to create budding linguists by broadening awareness of other communities and countries and by providing opportunities to participate in a range of linguistic and cultural educational experiences. We believe that a love of language fosters a deeper understanding of the world they live in and their place within it. An introduction to MFL through French provides an engaging and fun starting point to learning other languages.

-
Our intent is for pupils to show progression in French throughout KS2 and to understand the value to them of learning MFL.

Acquire knowledge of French grammar, syntax and vocabulary.
-
To learn about and explore the cultural capital of another country through its language and traditions.
