--- title: "Modern Foreign Languages" url: "https://www.blessedsacrament.mecmat.org/curriculum/modern-foreign-languages" school: "The Blessed Sacrament Catholic Primary School" --- # Modern Foreign Languages #### “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart.” – Nelson Mandela Our Spanish curriculum is a progressive curriculum which is designed to deepen and build on the previous years of learning. Its primary purpose is to promote a love of foreign languages and build confidence in speaking and understanding another language. At the heart of all our learning is a focus on reading, writing, listening and speaking skills which helps pupils to develop a genuine interest and curiosity about the culture. Learning a foreign language is liberating and provides an opening to other cultures. It also provides opportunities for children to communicate for practical purposes, learn new ways of thinking and read good literature in the original language. We want children leaving our school to have high self-esteem as well as understanding and respect for people from different cultures, lifestyles and customs. ### Modern Foreign Languages MFL Policy 3.02 MB [Open for printing](https://files.schudio.com/the-blessed-sacrament-2/files/documents/MFL_policy_on_a_page.pdf) For details about the curriculum for each year group, please select from the following: | [![](https://www.blessedsacrament.mecmat.org/images/Picture_1.png)](https://www.blessedsacrament.lancs.sch.uk/our-classes/reception) | [![](https://www.blessedsacrament.mecmat.org/images/Picture_1.png)](https://www.blessedsacrament.lancs.sch.uk/our-classes/1-blessed) | [![](https://www.blessedsacrament.mecmat.org/images/Picture_1.png)](https://www.blessedsacrament.lancs.sch.uk/our-classes/year-2) | |---|---|---| | [**Early Years**](https://www.blessedsacrament.lancs.sch.uk/our-classes/reception) | [**Year 1**](https://www.blessedsacrament.lancs.sch.uk/our-classes/1-blessed) | [**Year 2**](https://www.blessedsacrament.lancs.sch.uk/our-classes/year-2) | | [![](https://www.blessedsacrament.mecmat.org/images/Picture_1.png)](https://www.blessedsacrament.lancs.sch.uk/our-classes/year-3) | [![](https://www.blessedsacrament.mecmat.org/images/Picture_1.png)](https://www.blessedsacrament.lancs.sch.uk/our-classes/year-4) | [![](https://www.blessedsacrament.mecmat.org/images/Picture_1.png)](https://www.blessedsacrament.lancs.sch.uk/our-classes/year-5) | [![](https://www.blessedsacrament.mecmat.org/images/Picture_1.png)](https://www.blessedsacrament.lancs.sch.uk/our-classes/year-6) | |---|---|---|---| | [**Year 3**](https://www.blessedsacrament.lancs.sch.uk/our-classes/year-3) | [**Year 4**](https://www.blessedsacrament.lancs.sch.uk/our-classes/year-4) | [**Year 5**](https://www.blessedsacrament.lancs.sch.uk/our-classes/year-5) | [**Year 6**](https://www.blessedsacrament.lancs.sch.uk/our-classes/year-6) | ### Curriculum - [Curriculum Overview](https://www.blessedsacrament.mecmat.org/curriculum/overview) - [Religious Education](https://www.blessedsacrament.mecmat.org/curriculum/religious-education) - [Mathematics](https://www.blessedsacrament.mecmat.org/curriculum/mathematics) - [English Reading](https://www.blessedsacrament.mecmat.org/curriculum/english-reading) - [English Writing](https://www.blessedsacrament.mecmat.org/curriculum/english-writing) - [Phonics](https://www.blessedsacrament.mecmat.org/curriculum/phonics) - [Science](https://www.blessedsacrament.mecmat.org/curriculum/science) - [Computing](https://www.blessedsacrament.mecmat.org/curriculum/computing) - [Physical Education](https://www.blessedsacrament.mecmat.org/curriculum/physical-education) - [PSHE](https://www.blessedsacrament.mecmat.org/curriculum/pshe) - [Design & Technology](https://www.blessedsacrament.mecmat.org/curriculum/design-technology) - [Modern Foreign Languages](https://www.blessedsacrament.mecmat.org/curriculum/modern-foreign-languages) - [Art](https://www.blessedsacrament.mecmat.org/curriculum/art) - [History](https://www.blessedsacrament.mecmat.org/curriculum/history) - [Geography](https://www.blessedsacrament.mecmat.org/curriculum/geography) - [Music](https://www.blessedsacrament.mecmat.org/curriculum/music) - [Mental Health and Wellbeing](https://www.blessedsacrament.mecmat.org/curriculum/mental-health-and-well-being) - [School Sport](https://www.blessedsacrament.mecmat.org/curriculum/sports) - [British Values](https://www.blessedsacrament.mecmat.org/curriculum/british-values) - [Curriculum Enrichment](https://www.blessedsacrament.mecmat.org/curriculum/curriculum-enrichment) - [Blended and Remote Learning ](https://www.blessedsacrament.mecmat.org/curriculum/home-learning) - [Extra Curricular Activities](https://www.blessedsacrament.mecmat.org/curriculum/extra-curricular-activities) ![School Logo](https://www.blessedsacrament.mecmat.org/images/logo/logo-footer.png)The Blessed Sacrament Catholic Primary School Farringdon Lane, Ribbleton, Preston, Lancashire PR2 6LX ### About The Trust Mater Ecclesiae Catholic Trust W\_rkspace 3 Caxton Road, Fulwood, Preston, Lancashire PR2 9ZZ [Visit Trust Website](https://mecmat.org/) ### Quick Links ### Office 365 [Sign in to Office 365](https://outlook.office.com/) ### Follow Us [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100057592182298#) [Twitter](https://x.com/BlessedPreston) [![Trust Mark](https://www.blessedsacrament.mecmat.org/images/homepage/Diocese_of_Lancaster_In_Line_White.png)](https://www.lrcd.org.uk/) © The Blessed Sacrament Catholic Primary School.
