Modern Foreign Languages Curriculum Overview
“One language sets you in a corridor for life. Two languages open every door along the way” – Frank Smith
Being part of the Academy Transformation Trust family, we ensure our curriculum is ambitious and enjoyable through knowledge and skills developed throughout their time at Bristnall Hall. It is inclusive and knowledge rich and it is broad in terms of coverage and (at least) encompassing the breadth of the 2014 English National Curriculum. We ensure it meets the needs of our students and helps to develop character, personal pride and the highest moral standards.
The study of Modern Foreign Languages enables learners to understand and communicate with people around the world. We aspire to teach learners to manipulate language to suit their purpose in a range of scenarios and to facilitate understanding of grammar construction. Furthermore, learning a foreign language enhances literacy and communication skills in English and will provide learners with opportunities beyond their everyday experiences. We aim to promote curiosity about, and an appreciation of, the culture and the way of life of the people living in the countries where the languages are spoken, as well as encouraging learners to be citizens of not just this country, but of their world.
