Modern Foreign Language
Modern Foreign Language Curriculum Intent
Although not statutory until Year 3, Italian is introduced in Reception (EYFS) and taught by a native Italian speaking teacher. Children have the opportunity to have weekly Italian lessons organised by the Education department of the Italian Consulate. St Vincent’s also have Native Italian speakers on our staff to support the children’s development of the Italian language. Continuing with Italian throughout the Primary school years enables children to achieve a good level of fluency, confidence and skill in a foreign language.
Across all year groups, our Italian lessons last for an hour providing opportunities for active, learning and pupil participation through games and activities involving speaking, listening and having fun. In Key Stage 2, the children have more opportunities to build and gain confidence in their written work (MFL).
