At LCF, we have developed French and Spanish school courses for both Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 to cater for the different age groups.

In KS1, children will learn vocabulary on a wide variety of topics and lay foundations for KS2, also learning about various celebrations in French-speaking countries, and learning in a fun and enjoyable environment, with the help of Hugo Escargot or Pepe Caracole, our resident puppet friends, who only speak in our new languages! Songs and games lay the basis of our course, which is fun and enjoyment of language learning.

In KS2, LCF’s courses have been developed based on the QCA/TDA recommended schemes of work developed for the integration of languages in primary school and were created for children learning from Year 3 for one hour per week up until the end of year 6, however our teachers can be flexible and cater the course for shorter teaching times if needed. We now cover all elements of the new updated Primary curriculum, and we are always working to update our resources to match the needs of this curriculum.

The course is complemented by our online interactive web resource, Babelzone which has stories, songs, games, sound bites, phonics examples and printable activities for each of the 24 KS2 units. We also offer colourful exercise books for each year of French or Spanish learning which are used by all LCF teachers.

For schools that would like to provide an extra-curricular activity, but not during the school day, we can run a school fun club after school or during lunchtime if that suits you better. Find out more here.
