The  MFL Curriculum provides students with the knowledge, skills, values and attitudes to navigate the world successfully and become the next generation of game-changers.

Values: students enjoy and make the most of learning and enrichment opportunities available to them. 

Attitudes: student show cultural curiosity and seek to find out more about the target language country

MFL Learning Journey – Spanish

A game-changing student in Languages is a student who is curious about other cultures and want to explore and learn more about languages. A student who will memorise all the new words each week and practise them in class and at home. 

A student who uses Duolingo or another app, watches TV or films in the target language or reads articles and news to know what’s happening in other countries and is willing to get further and perhaps consider work experience in another country in order to improve language skills.
