At Staple Hill Primary School, French is taught by a specialist languages teacher from LCF, ensuring pupils receive high-quality, expert-led language instruction.
Lessons are carefully planned and delivered by trained language specialists who use engaging, interactive approaches to develop pupils’ listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in French. Teaching places a strong emphasis on accurate pronunciation, vocabulary acquisition, and confidence in spoken language.
The specialist provision ensures:
- clear progression of language skills across year groups
- regular opportunities for pupils to hear and use authentic spoken French
- engaging activities such as songs, games, repetition, and structured conversation
- increased cultural awareness and curiosity about the wider world
In addition to curriculum lessons, we also offer an after-school French club, delivered by LCF Clubs. This enrichment opportunity allows pupils to further practise and extend their French in a fun, supportive environment, helping to build confidence, fluency and enjoyment in language learning beyond the classroom.
