    Welcome to the Modern Foreign Languages Department at Harris Church of England Academy. We strongly believe that MFL has great importance in an increasingly global society. Knowledge of a foreign language not only enriches peoples’ work and leisure time but also improves peoples' intercultural understanding and develops transferable life skills. As such, we believe that all pupils should leave school with a sound knowledge and understanding of at least one additional foreign language. We celebrate the equal value of all cultures and languages in our community and native speakers of other languages are warmly encouraged to sit GCSEs in their native tongue. We aim to inspire a passion for learning modern foreign languages in our pupils, encourage them as they realise their potential and support them as they achieve their goals.

    THE HARRIS VALUES AND MODERN FOREIGN LANGUAGES

    The Modern Languages Department contributes particularly to the social, cultural, moral and spiritual education at Harris Church of England Academy and promotes the Christian Distinctiveness of the school.

    Students are encouraged to consider the lifestyle and culture of various countries across different continents and to develop curiosity, tolerance, acceptance and love of all, regardless of nationality or language. (Mark 12:31)

    We trust that students will embrace the opportunity to learn to communicate with French speaking people around the world and will appreciate and celebrate the cultural differences they discover. This is achieved within the MFL curriculum by studying Francophone literature and film as well as geography, history, society and ethics in the target language. We explore different faith and non-faith belief systems across the world as well as religious customs and festivals in French speaking countries.

    MFL contributes to the character development of students by encouraging an understanding of individuals, communities and nations globally whilst considering their own place in the world. (Jeremiah 29:11)
