In our school, we value the integration and learning of other languages and cultures. We do this in two ways; by celebrating and promoting other languages across the school and by fostering pupils’ curiosity and interest in learning a new language and enriching their educational, social and cultural experiences.

At Hemsby Primary School the delivery of Modern Foreign Languages helps our children develop key speaking and listening skills and allows them to reflect in their own culture and other cultures; embracing the multicultural society we currently live in. Exposing our children to a new language at a young age, will transform attitudes towards unfamiliar cultures and, possibly, inspire them to pursue languages in their
future studies, increasing future opportunities to study and/or work abroad.

As part of the National Curriculum, all Key Stage 2 pupils must now learn another language in school time. At Hemsby Primary school we have chosen to teach French to all children in KS2.
