At St Michael’s Community Academy, we believe learning a language enriches the curriculum, providing excitement, engagement and it provides opportunities to ignite a passion for different cultures for children and teachers. Our chosen language is French.

Learning another language raises awareness of the multilingual and multicultural world, and introduces an international dimension to pupils’ learning, giving them an insight into their own culture and those of others. The learning of a foreign language provides a medium for cross-curricular links and for reinforcement of knowledge, skills and understanding developed in other subjects.
