Modern Foreign Languages

At Hayward's we have made the decision to teach Spanish. Having worked with both Spanish and French for a short period of time, we sought the views of the children and based on their feedback we have selected this as the language they will study in Key Stage 2. 

OUR INTENT:

• We want our children to develop an interest in learning other languages and understand the importance and power of communication. 

• We want children to know that even basic vocabulary knowledge in another language can break down communication barriers. 

• We want children at Hayward’s to be able to communicate in another language for practical purposes, being able to understand and respond to its speakers. 

• We want our children to look beyond Crediton and the United Kingdom, and develop a respectful attitude by exposing them to other languages and cultures.

• We want our children to express their ideas and thoughts in another language, and understand and respond to spoken and written language.

• We want children at Hayward’s to speak in a second language with increasing confidence and fluency, improving the accuracy of their pronunciation and intonation.

• We want to provide our children with the foundation for learning further languages at KS3 and beyond.
