MFL
Our Statement of Intent
The aim of MFL teaching at English Martyrs’ is to develop the children’s linguistic competence and confidence in speaking, listening, reading and writing. The life-long skill of language learning supports children with communication, and fosters a positive attitude, awareness for and an understanding of other cultures and the globalised world. We encourage our children to follow their curiosity across the curriculum and we seek to give them the opportunity to do so through our WOW days and half-termly phase topics and our driver texts. Such topics include Around the World in 80 Days in Years 3 and 4 and the Rainforest in Years 5 and 6; as well as our school community link in Bunkpurugu, Ghana.
Our English Martyrs’ community is privileged to have families from a variety of countries and backgrounds. We aim to promote and celebrate our diversity to give all children the opportunity to be exposed to cultures, languages and ideas that they may not otherwise be exposed to in our locality and diocese.
