Curriculum Intent of MFL
Languages are an integral part of the curriculum. Learning a language is a liberation from insularity and provides an opening to other cultures. It helps to equip students with the knowledge and cultural capital they need to thrive and succeed in life, thereby encouraging them to appreciate, understand and celebrate diversity. It provides them with the foundation for learning additional languages and enables them to study and work in other countries. Consequently the Languages curriculum makes a significantly positive contribution to business, industry and the economy.
