Modern Foreign Languages

At Holme Valley, we believe that learning a language is a necessary part of being a member of a modern, multi-cultural society. A high-quality language education should provide an educational, cultural and social experience for our pupils and enhance their existing knowledge and skills in their study of English. 

Our curriculum has been designed, using the Language Angels platform, to enable pupils to make substantial progress in learning one predominant language. The design of this has ensured that the four key skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing are embedded throughout our teaching sequences; this ensures that their knowledge can be applied in a variety of contexts, and the foundations for future language learning are laid. 

IIn all areas of the curriculum, we aim to ensure that our children are secondary ready. Across Key Stage 2, our children learn Spanish. This is to support their learning, and to facilitate consistency in their transition into KS3.
