Curriculum Intent

At Polam Hall School our Modern Foreign Languages curriculum aims to:

Foster a love of language and curiosity about the wider world.

We learn foreign languages in order to:

• reach out and communicate with people who don’t speak our language

• make friends in other countries

• improve our understanding of other cultures, and thereby of our own

• give our brains a workout

At GCSE students follow the Edexcel specifications for both French and German. Further details can be found using these links:

At Polam Hall School we assess KS3 students against age related expectations and have defined the curriculum for all Senior School students through the core skills and core knowledge for each year group. Further details for MFL can be found below:
