At Trimley St Mary School, we believe that a high-quality languages education fosters pupils’ curiosity, deepens their understanding of the world and provides an opening to other cultures. Children are encouraged to express their ideas and thoughts in another language and to understand and respond to its speakers, both in speech and in writing. Children are given opportunities to communicate for practical purposes, learn new ways of thinking and read great literature in the original language. We provide our children with the foundation for learning further languages, equipping them with the skills to study and work in other countries.
We will develop:-
• Confidence to speak with good intonation and pronunciation.
•Fluency in reading.
• Fluency and imagination in writing.
• A strong awareness of the culture of the countries where the language is spoken.
• A passion for languages and a commitment to the subject.
• The ability to use language creatively and spontaneously.
• An independence in their studies and the ability to draw upon a wide range of resources.
