Modern Foreign Languages
Nonsuch are commited to allowing pupils to access a broad and balanced curriculum. Our aim is to widen our pupils experiences by introducing new cultures through developing their speaking and listening skills, their reading and writing fluency, and breadth of knowledge of international countries. Through, this, our children can increase their knowledge, embed their skills and therefore deepen their understanding.
At Nonsuch Primary we consistently promote the study of a foreign language (in our case, French) because of its increasing importance in both personal development and in global society.
