French starts in Year 4 and the French curriculum is based on the sequences of the text books Petit Pont 1 and Petit Pont 2. The curriculum is designed to enable progress across the four language attainment targets (speaking, listening, reading and writing).However in the Primary years the major focus is the first three.

The emphasis on communication in a fun and stimulating learning environment. French lessons include songs, games, play acting, learning about French culture, writing projects, activities using the interactive whiteboard, and activities online. In Year Five and Six students start to use the text book Petit Pont 2 and this increases their ability to express themselves and to understand both spoken and written French. By the end of year 6, students will have studied around one hundred hours of French!
