Harborne Primary School
Modern Foreign Languages
Our MFL Lead is Mrs Jesson.
French is our core modern foreign language and children are encouraged to become familiar with simple words and phrases in KS1. In KS2, the children have a timetabled French lesson every week. They learn French in a structured way, but with an emphasis on fun and enjoyment. They learn a range of vocabulary and simple phrases, beginning with listening and speaking and progressing to reading and writing. There is a strong emphasis on intercultural understanding which extends to other languages and cultures too.
