The purpose of education is to develop well-rounded, knowledgeable individuals who are prepared to contribute meaningfully to society. Foreign Languages education at Telscombe Cliffs Academy supports this aim by fostering an appreciation for cultural diversity and promoting intercultural understanding through the engagement of authentic materials, such as songs, poems, and cultural traditions, which enrich their personal development and equip them with the emotional intelligence and cross-cultural competencies vital for thriving in a multicultural world.

As novice learners, pupils will focus on the fundamental building blocks of language acquisition: phonics, vocabulary, and grammar. Initially, they will prioritise listening and speaking, progressing to reading and writing. By using high-utility vocabulary, pupils will learn to construct coherent sentences. Our curriculum is aspirational yet accessible, providing a clear and structured pathway that aligns with the English National Curriculum's Key Stage 2 framework.

This approach nurtures curiosity, resilience, and a love for languages, ensuring that all pupils, regardless of background, have the foundation to succeed in further language study and confidently navigate an interconnected world.
