Why are MFLs important?

Modern Foreign Languages is crucial to providing children with a curiosity and understanding of the wider world. Learning a language enhances their communication skills in speaking, listening, reading and writing, while also gaining an education of their own and other’s cultures. Our languages curriculum provides fun and engaging lessons that develop positive attitudes towards language learning in the future.
