Modern Foreign Languages

“Learning another language is not only learning

different words for the same things, but learning another way to think about things.”
Flora Lewis

At St Mary's, we believe in providing children with language skills that will open doors to the world, enabling them to seize every opportunity in life. Receiving high-quality education should promote children's curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world.

Learning a language can benefit children's understanding of the similarities and differences with other countries. In teaching French, we make links across the curriculum so that our children are able to make connections with countries studied across the curriculum and through our vehicles in Science, History, Geography and Art & Design.
