Curriculum Overview

The MFL Curriculum Statement sets out the vision and intent for the curriculum in Modern Foreign Languages (MFL).

The MFL Curriculum Map sets out an overview of the curriculum in Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) from Years 7 through to Year 11.  Among other things, it sets out what is studied, why it is studied, as well as the keywords needed in each year.  Students and parents are likely to find this useful.

At Hanham Woods Academy we encourage students to think like a Linguist in their Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) lessons.  The MFL Hanham Thinkers poster summarises what that means.
