At Daisyfield Primary School we strongly believe that learning a foreign language provides our children with an exciting window to the world. Learning a language at an early age prepares children to play an important part as global citizens in later life, as well as preparing them for the next stage of their language learning journey at high school. 

As the UK is becoming an increasingly multicultural society, we believe that we have a duty to provide our children with an understanding of other cultures and languages, and we aim to do this through a high quality, creative education in Modern Foreign Languages (MFL).

Our MFL curriculum will ensure that all pupils develop key language learning skills set out by the National Curriculum, as well as a love of languages and learning about other cultures. 

These are as follows: 

• understand and respond to spoken and written language from a variety of authentic sources
• speak with increasing confidence, fluency and spontaneity, finding ways of communicating what they want to say, including through discussion and asking questions, and continually improving the accuracy of their pronunciation and intonation
• write a varying length, for different purposes and audiences, using the variety of grammatical structures they have learnt 
• discover and develop an appreciation of a range of writing in the language studied.

We follow the iLanguages Primary Scheme of Work for Spanish, to ensure coverage and progression throughout KS2. Teachers use and adapt the lesson plans from the scheme to meet the needs of their learners.
