Modern Foreign Languages
At Roydon Primary Academy, pupils learn French through the dynamic Rigolo programme, following the exciting adventures of Jake, Polly, and Bof as they explore France through interactive activities and vibrant stories.
Introducing a modern foreign language at primary level brings many benefits. It boosts cognitive development by improving memory, problem-solving, and multitasking skills. Learning French also nurtures cultural awareness and appreciation from a young age, fostering a sense of global citizenship. Research shows that bilingualism can enhance academic performance across subjects and support future learning.
By studying French early, our pupils gain a strong foundation for continued language learning and open doors to diverse opportunities in an increasingly connected world.
