MFL: Spanish

At Ryedene, we aim to provide all of our children with a high-quality education in Modern Foreign Languages, which develops their love of learning about other languages and cultures and helps provide them with an understanding of the world.

The current MFL taught is Spanish. However, we strive to provide children with opportunities to experience a range of other languages. We aim to build the children’s ‘cultural capital’ so that they have a knowledge and understanding of the richness and diversity between cultures.

All pupils at Ryedene are encouraged to achieve their full potential in their foreign language learning (Spanish). Our ultimate aim is that our pupils feel confident engaging in spoken Spanish, develop skills in reading, listening and writing and know how important languages will be in their future. We aim to develop a genuine interest and curiosity about languages, finding them enjoyable and exciting and show a desire to continue their language learning past Key Stage 2.

We believe that learning another language gives children a new and broader perspective on the world, encouraging them to understand their own cultures and those of others.
