French
At St Michael at Bowes, we believe that the learning of a foreign language provides a valuable educational, social and cultural experience for our pupils. It helps them to develop communication skills, including the key skills of speaking and listening and extends their knowledge how language works. Learning another language gives children a new perspective on the world, encouraging them to understand their own cultures and those of others. Therefore, in line with our school vision statement, our children will experience the inclusivity and firm foundation providing an opportunity to live successful lives. The focus language taught in our school is French.
