Primary Foreign Languages 

Our main aims are to give each KS2 child at BPS a real opportunity to hear, understand, speak, learn and fall in love with a foreign language, as well as to build a solid language learning foundation that will prepare and motivate them for language learning in their future.  We aim to provide a broad and balanced curriculum through oracy, diversity, creativity and developing independence.   

Subject organisation and pedagogical approaches 

At Bournville Primary school we teach languages through the teaching of Spanish.  

We use 'Language Angels’, an online language teaching scheme.   All teachers will enjoy full access to the range of resources available, including structured lessons, songs, curriculum guidance, interactive games and more. This resource also provides teachers with examples of native speaking so children are hearing correct models of speaking in Spanish sessions.   

Language Angels meets the requirements of the National Curriculum and sets out three pillar of learning throughout the program:

- phonics

- vocabulary

- grammar

The teaching of Languages at BPS will be based on engaging the children’s interest, through dynamic lessons, using cultural references, interactive games, songs, resources using native speakers, stimulating worksheets and practical activities.
