Modern Foreign Languages

Students at Harris Academy Peckham have the fantastic opportunity to learn French or Spanish. The languages curriculum has been designed to enthuse students through building a curiosity and love for learning languages.

The French and Spanish curriculum is adapted to a transition period when Key Stage 4 students are continuing to work towards the current GCSE specifications which includes three main themes:

  • Identity and culture
  • Local, national, international and global areas of interest
  • Current and future study and employment

The topics covered allow students to cyclically build on their knowledge of key vocabulary and core grammatical structures, so that they can develop their Mastery of the subject. Through the delivery of “unlocking languages” lessons, focussed on language form and language families, students’ overall literacy is reinforced.

By the end of the five-year curriculum, students are able to describe in detail their life at home and compare it to the lives of young people in French and Spanish-speaking countries. The apprenticeship of learning a language provides an open road to the world.

Through Spanish and French at Harris Academy Peckham, we promote students’ curiosity and deepen their understanding of different countries’ people, culture, history, literature and arts.

As Global Citizens, we challenge students to consider their own identity and place in the world and to appreciate and empathise with different ways of seeing the world. We aim to equip students with the confidence, lexicon and grammatical foundations that allow them to express their ideas and opinions, to seek information and to respond to speakers’ of the language across the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing.

By developing students’ linguistic, communicative and intercultural skills, we strive to foster rounded individuals ready for lifelong language learning and entry into a global, more cooperative and more peaceful world.

The new GCSE specification especially supports the delivery of our RSHE curriculum by including the topics of Diversity and inclusion, Mental health, and Environmental and social issues. French students are encouraged to use their Critical thinking around those topics in their language lessons, as they are in their tutor sessions.
