Junior Modern Foreign Languages
Bedford Modern Junior School offers children a choice of over twenty-five languages in Years Three, Four and Five with the support of the Junior Languages Resources.
In addition to these languages, children who have learnt French and German before can continue to keep up these languages by attending a voluntary language club.
The multi-language offering enables children to:
- Work at a pace that matches their rate of learning.
- Considerable understanding of the language by the time they finish Year Five
- Alternatively have an understanding of a number of languages
- Progression and variation of language learning that can be achieved is significant.
In Year Six , pupils are taught by subject-specialist teachers from the Senior School. Pupils embark on studying French at secondary level. In Year Seven the boys and girls continue to study French and begin their German language learning. Shortly afterwards, Spanish can be added and also possibly Latin and Classics.
