Modern Foreign Languages at Thomas Whitehead C of E Academy

At Thomas Whitehead we follow the National Curriculum for Modern Foreign Languages (MFL). The purpose of MFL at Thomas Whitehead is to provide high quality provision of teaching and learning of a foreign language, which as the National Curriculum states, is a liberation from insularity and provides an opening to other cultures. We aim to provide a MFL education which fosters pupils’ curiosity and deepens their understanding of the world.

At Thomas Whitehead we teach Spanish in Key Stage 2, from Year 3 to Year 6.

Pupils leave Thomas Whitehead Academy with a broad and enjoyable experience of learning the Spanish language and they will be able to build on this to learn new languages at Upper school as well as continuing to succeed well in Spanish.
