French Curriculum Intent

At Reintegreat, our French curriculum is designed to introduce students to the joy of learning a new language while making meaningful links to French-speaking (Francophone) countries across the world.

​

We believe that learning French provides students with:

​

  • An opening into other cultures and a liberation from insularity.

  • Opportunities to engage curiosity and deepen understanding of the wider world.

  • Practical communication skills to express ideas and thoughts in another language and respond to others confidently, in both writing and speech.
     

Through high-quality teaching, we aim to develop students’ confidence in using French while also providing a window into Francophone life and culture. By exploring authentic literary texts, sound recordings, and video clips, students are encouraged to:

​

  • Think creatively.

  • Compare their own experiences with those of Francophone peers.

  • Broaden their cultural awareness.
     

At Reintegreat, we believe every student can benefit from learning a language. Our ambition is for all students to access language learning as part of a broad and balanced education. By doing so, we hope they recognise diversity as something to respect and celebrate in our multilingual, multicultural world.
 

Curriculum Overview
 

Our French curriculum is structured in three learning cycles, each revisiting key skills while deepening cultural understanding and broadening vocabulary.
 

Cycle 1

  • Autumn 1 & 2: Self and Family (Ma famille et moi)

  • Spring 1 & 2: School (En classe)

  • Summer 1 & 2: Free Time (Mon temps libre)
     

Cycle 2

  • Autumn 1: Town (En ville)

  • Autumn 2 & Spring 1: Celebrations (J’adore les fêtes)

  • Spring 2: Holidays (Vive les vacances)

  • Summer 1 & 2: Free Time – Technology (À loisir)
     

Cycle 3

  • Autumn 1 & 2: Life When You Were Younger (Ma vie autrefois)

  • Spring 1 & 2: Future Work (Ma vie à l’avenir)

  • Summer 1 & 2: Environment (Le meilleur des mondes)
     

This approach ensures that our students not only develop the language skills they need to communicate but also grow into curious, open-minded global citizens who value cultural diversity.
