Key Stage 2 - Pupils begin to learn French in Year 3, and continue through to Year 6.  Pupils generally follow the Twinkl PlanIt French schemes of work. These units are progressive and are written to be taught in a linear fashion, beginning in Year 3 and following through to Year 6, so that language points already taught are referenced, reinforced and recapped while you build new knowledge and skills.  Initially, pupils engage in basic conversational French, but as they progress through the key stage, children have more opportunity to record their learning with written language.  Our aim is to equip our pupils with a foundation of the French language, so that the transition from primary school to secondary school shows continual progression.
