CURRICULUM INTENT

The MFL department at the Coleshill School aspires to provide our students with skills to develop as confident communicators, who are able to express themselves as individuals in a range of situations. Our early exposure to phonics, a clearly defined list of vocabulary and structures and a carefully sequenced approach to grammar, all with ample opportunities to practice, lead to confidence and fluency, across all 4 skills.

Furthermore, we believe that our KS3 curriculum inspires a cultural curiosity in our students. As we explore the language through cultural aspects and situations in the French or Spanish speaking world. We aim to promote a real interest and tolerance of people, cultures, opportunities and experiences in the wider world.

Our provision is a coherent and carefully sequenced “knowledge-engaged” curriculum based on the principles of cognitive science. There is a focus on development of literacy and the application of acquired knowledge to ensure children access the curriculum at a depth to ensure a deep and enduring understanding in discrete subject areas. The curriculum framework of cognitive education is planned to enable children to think independently and contribute positively to society and the wider world.
