Through this project we aim to improve the teaching of French across the school using a cross-curricular approach and create cross-curricular resources and projects and introduce Spanish as part of our MFL teaching in school and introduce MFL into Key Stage 1 and Foundation Stage. We need to enhance the language skills of all staff, (including teaching assistants), integrate the teaching of French and Spanish culture across school throughout all areas of the curriculum and set up links with partner schools. We are keen to further the international dimension throughout the school and improve the teaching and learning of mathematics, sport and PE through sharing good practise internationally, leading to an improvement in the attainment and aspirations of our pupils and improving their confidence. We also hope to improve links with our local secondary school to improved transition. We will meet these needs through developing a two-year project involving sending staff on training courses in Spain and France to develop their skills to be able to achieve these aims. The courses involve language learning, cultural activities, methodology and pedagogy, professional discussion and time in a Spanish and French primary school. This will result in more language learning options available to our children and languages being available to more children as we will introduce language teaching into KS1 one and EYFS, more staff being involved in the teaching of languages, better resources and teaching methodology. We will also have cross curricular links, which will lead to the reinforcement of literacy and will increase enjoyment of other subjects. Our pupils will become more internationally aware and will have more of an interest in other countries and cultures. Our staff will have better language knowledge, much more confidence and a better understanding of the best way to teach languages to young children. The links we establish with our Spanish and French schools will greatly impact on language learning in our school. Our children will be more motivated and will find much more enjoyment in language learning. They will also be able to understand much better how Spanish and French children live and will realise that there are lots of similarities with their own lives. They will learn much more about Spanish and French culture in this way. We hope that this will lead to a long-term impact on their views about other countries and will allow them to build lasting friendships through penfriend scheme. Another long term impact we envisage is an improvement in attainment of all our pupils, particularly those with low basic skills through improving teaching and introducing new methodologies and resources. We hope to become fully accredited with the International School Award .
