At St Andrew’s CE Primary School, we believe that learning a modern foreign language is a necessary part of being a member of a multi-cultural society and that it provides an opening to other cultures. We aim to provide a high-quality languages education which will inspire and foster children’s curiosity and deepen their understanding of the wider world. The languages education our pupils receive should enable them to express their ideas and thoughts in another language and to understand and respond to its speakers, both in speech and in writing. It should also provide opportunities for them to communicate for practical purposes, learn new ways of thinking and read great literature in the original language. Language teaching should provide the foundation for learning further languages (in secondary school and beyond); we aim to develop our pupils’ natural curiosity and develop their confidence to explore other countries, cultures and languages, accepting that, in a multi-lingual society, it is a valuable skill to be able to communicate effectively with others in another language. We aim to inspire our pupils to become life- long language learners!
