Welcome to Sussex Road School Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) - French
At Sussex Road, we see the teaching of modern foreign languages as a way of opening the door to other cultures for the children. We focus on teaching French as the language of our nearest neighbours and because we have a shared history with France.
Our aim is to foster children's natural curiosity and to deepen their understanding of the world through learning about the countries where French is spoken. Children are given the opportunity to express their ideas and thoughts in another language and respond to its speakers both in speaking and writing. By equipping children with the skills to learn a new language, we are broadening their horizons for the future and introducing children to the possibilities of studying and working abroad.
