Pupils in Year 7 explore the topics of Identity, Interests and Education, in which they study ways in which greetings are conducted in foreign languages and communities. Pupils learn to articulate how they see their habitat and household in the target language and communicate key information about themselves, such as their interests and goals. This course of learning introduces our vision for pupils to become Linguists for Life, through personalities such as Gabriella Grimaldi and Luis Díaz, who bring the language to life.

In Year 8, pupils continue their language learning journey by studying the topics of Culture, Locations and Travel. World cultures are explored through cuisine, musical diversity and destinations. Pupils use the target language more confidently to engage with the world around them. This course of learning builds on our vision for pupils to become Linguists for Life and gives opportunities for pupils to engage with cultural capital by exploring personalities from Mexico and Mali, for example.

In Year 9, pupils study the topics of People, Responsibilities and Occuaption, discussing relationships, lifestyle and future plans with creativity in the target langauge. While gaining further first-hand experience of MFL mastery, pupils can take advantage of our Year 9 course to inform their GCSE Options. Pupils investigate how expressions around friendships and jobs are conveyed and learn how to justify choices around children’s rights and environment, exploring these topics though the eyes of personalities such as Andrea Spendolini-Sirieix and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. This further develops our vision for pupils to become Linguists for Life.
