We aim that by the time pupils leave the Federation of Hanbury’s Farm and Oakhill Primary they will be confident to speak in basic French for a range of situations as well as being able to listen and respond in French.

Our intent is that all pupils will develop a genuine interest and positive curiosity about foreign languages, finding them enjoyable and stimulating.  Learning French will also offer pupils the opportunity to develop a deeper understanding of other cultures and the world around them with a better awareness of self, others and cultural differences. 

Each year we celebrate Bastille Day to offer an opportunity for all children (including Early Years and KS1) to be exposed to some French language and vocabulary. Below are some pictures of past Bastille Day celebrations.
