We follow the Primary National Curriculum for Languages and aim to equip children with appropriate subject knowledge and skills as well as making learning a language enjoyable and exciting.
Kapow Primary’s French scheme of work aims to instil a love of language learning and an awareness of other cultures. We want pupils to develop the confidence to communicate in French for practical purposes, using both written and spoken French.

We use Kapow scheme of work that is designed to support language progression from years 3 to 6 covering a range of age- appropriate contexts, including making links with other areas of the curriculum including Geography, Maths, History and Science.

We measure progress through the identification of appropriate age-related skills and contexts using a progression overview framework that maps to the National Curriculum. The language learning examples from the scheme of work show how the skills relate to the scheme of work for French. The skills outlined for each year group are used to support whole class assessment. The class teacher can observe whether most children are successful in achieving the skills.
All children make progress in French and develop linguistic skills to equip them for future learning. Children will recognise and use key vocabulary and structures in different contexts appropriate to their interests and maturity. Learning a new language promotes initiative, independence and a range of transferable skills.
