Curriculum Intent:

At Oakdale, we encourage our pupils to be curious and accepting about the multicultural world we live in. We strive to nurture responsible citizens, aware of their surroundings; confident individuals who are proud of their heritage; successful learners that understand their place in our ever-changing world.

We offer an ambitious sequence of MFL lessons that cover the skills required to meet the aims of the National Curriculum, showing progression through phonics, grammar and vocabulary in order to build competency in the new language.  At Oakdale, we firmly believe that learning a foreign language will foster children’s curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world. All pupils are encouraged to achieve their full potential and to develop the confidence and resilience to speak a modern foreign language with good intonation and pronunciation. Through listening, memorising, reading and writing, pupils develop a passion for languages and a commitment to the subject, building their ability to use language creatively and spontaneously.

French scheme of work: Language Angels

Language Angels is a ready-made foreign language teaching solution for all primary schools. This makes it possible for all primary school teachers to teach successful foreign language lessons irrespective of their linguistic confidence and without adding to their workload or stress levels.

Our resources are completely curriculum compliant. They have been written around the 12 DfE Languages Programme of Study attainment targets. As experienced teachers, linguists and trainers we are always abreast of any changes and ensure these are immediately reflected in our materials.
