    • Modern Foreign Language (MFL)

    Welcome to KSS Modern Foreign Languages (MFL)!

    MFL - our Intent

    At Kirkstall St Stephen's, we place immense value on the study of the French language as a subject that not only enriches our students' lives but also contributes to their development as responsible global citizens. The National Curriculum guides our French program, but we go beyond its requirements to ensure our students gain a deep appreciation for the language and its broader benefits.

    Learning an additional language, such as French, offers numerous advantages for children. Beyond the practicality of preparing them for high schools that teach French, it fosters cognitive development. Studies have shown that children who learn a second language tend to have improved problem-solving skills, enhanced creativity, and greater mental flexibility. It's not just about language; it's about nurturing well-rounded thinkers and learners.

    Please see the attached overview document that explains the curriculum and the knowledge, skills and vocabulary progression map from Reception to Year 6. 

    We have also begun creating Knowledge Organisers (KO) for each term and these have been added below. These are child-friendly documents that demonstrate how we will implement the new curriculum, including the powerful knowledge that we wish children to learn after each topic. The impact of our curriculum will be based on how well the children retain this knowledge.
