IMPLEMENTATION:
For subject implementation, please see the relevant year group "Curriculum Overview" attachment.

IMPACT:
 

We try to make the lessons fun and engaging to encourage students to become confident linguists. Students have access to a wide and varied range of resources which support and challenge. Students are enthusiastic about and engaged in their learning. 

At regular points throughout the year students will get a grade (Emerging, Developing, Secure, Mastered) and they will know where their strengths are. After a progress-check there is a re-teach lesson where teachers re-visit content that students have not mastered.  This ensures that students are given every possible opportunity to get things right and correct any misconceptions that might have arisen.
