MODERN FOREIGN LANGUAGES

At Lady Boswell’s we believe that learning a foreign language provides pupils with an opening to other cultures. Languages are part of the cultural richness of our society and the world in which we live and work.  To enable our children to celebrate and welcome differences in our world it is vital they have an understanding of different languages and countries.  By introducing and exposing our children to this they will have a deepened ability to show respect and play a valuable part in our global society.  To achieve this end point we aim, though our MFL curriculum, to inspire a love of language as part of their lifelong journey of learning. Learning languages contributes to mutual understanding, a sense of global citizenship and personal fulfilment. The ability to understand and communicate in another language is a lifelong skill for education, employment and leisure in this country and throughout the world.

In 2023 we enjoyed a very special 'Mother Language Day'.  Parents and carers were invited into School to talk to the children about their mother language and to tell them more about their country of origin.  

In May 2023, we were delighted to invite the children's grandparents to join us for a 'Fête des Grands-Parents'.  Our visitors joined the children across the afternoon to enjoy a French lesson and a variety of linked activities.  Much fun and laughter was had by all.
