French

Our French teaching at South Malling fosters a curiosity in children about the French language and culture.

We live in an increasingly globalized world where children need to acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to prepare them for life in the 21st century. At South Malling, we believe that learning French helps children develop an interest and curiosity about different cultures and languages and fosters a respect for diversity.

Our French curriculum is interactive, allowing pupils to develop skills in speaking, listening, reading and writing. We encourage children's enthusiasm and natural sense of wonder about languages. We believe that specific and precise language is key to developing communication, critical thinking and cultural awareness that allows children to make connections within their learning.
