French Curriculum
KS3 French
The Modern Language of French will be delivered through schemes and units of work to develop and engage pupils with themes and issues which are relevant to the lives of pupils today, integrating knowledge, understanding and skills to help pupils gain a better understanding of the complexity of how the world around us works. The Key Elements provide opportunities for pupils to reflect on moral, ethical, spiritual, social and cultural dimensions of modern language, relating to real people and real places and to consider their own views and opinions about them as citizens of a global community and equipping them with the skills to make decisions and take responsible actions in preparation for life and work.
