Modern Foreign Languages at Stretton

In an increasingly globalised world, the ability to communicate in another language is a highly advantageous and desirable skill. At Stretton, we are lucky to have learners who are already proficient in a range of languages at home. We are proud to work with language professionals at Sidney Stringer Academy to offer a world class Spanish curriculum model for all Key Stage 2 students. This establishes strong foundations for language learning, which can then continue to be built on in a secondary setting from Year 7 successfully.

We offer a curriculum that is designed to develop enthusiastic learners who are confident in the key skills of Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing, Translation, Dictation and Vocabulary retention. Students experience opportunities that broaden their multicultural awareness which are fundamental to their success in education and beyond. In addition, we equip learners with the transferable skills which come alongside learning a language such as communication skills, the confidence to express one’s thoughts and feelings and the ability to understand other people’s views and cultures. At Stretton, we aim to instil a love of learning languages, a passion for international communication, and an appreciation of life in the wider world.

Quizlet plays a vital role in our language lessons and prepares students for the following lesson. We would encourage you to support your child to use this platform at home to enhance their knowledge of the required class learning and to challenge them further.

All Key Stage 2 children will have an individual account that will enable them to use the learning and practice cards and games and take quizzes. Quizlet can be accessed as an app (free download) or via an internet search engine.
