At St. Thomas’ Primary school, celebrating different languages and cultures is encouraged through all we do. We understand that learning another language is a liberation from insularity and provides an opening to other cultures.
A high-quality languages education should foster pupils’ curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world. Our MFL curriculum is designed to progressively develop pupils’ spoken and written skills through a language rich environment where all children have the opportunity to learn, enjoy and achieve.
Our children develop their appreciation of a range of cultures through vibrant and engaging lessons and activities, international visits and through linking the celebration of language and culture throughout school life.
We aim to develop confident, enthusiastic speakers. We intend to set the foundations for language learning – preparing children today for their new tomorrow where they are successful, global citizens.
