Children at our school have a natural curiosity for other cultures and learning a language at our school provides an opening for children to explore this in a creative way and practical way.  

The aims of learning a modern foreign language at Parson Cross CE Primary School are: 

• To inspire and motivate children to want to learn a language. 
• To introduce children to another language in a fun and enjoyable way. 
• To foster pupils’ curiosity of the world and develop an appreciation of other cultures. 

• To speak with increased confidence in the target language improving their pronunciation and intonation. 
• To understand and respond to written and spoken language including a variety of authentic and interactive resources. 
• To write in varying length using the grammatical structures taught. 
• To provide opportunities for children to communicate for practical purposes. 

All children in Key Stage 2 (Years 3 to 6) are taught a Modern Foreign Language (MFL) and at Parson Cross we learn Spanish. Although not formally taught in FS and KS1, Spanish is encouraged by staff through greetings, songs, routines and counting.
