Impact 

Attainment and progress (including national tests and assessments) 

• EYFS/KS1 

French is not taught in EYFS or KS1.  

• KS2  

The standards in French are not formally assessed. However, all children in KS2 have access to a French curriculum, based on the National Curriculum for Languages, which provides access to age-appropriate content in order to ensure pupils are adequately prepared for the transition to Year 7, in relation to foreign language knowledge and skills.  

Balance online assessment system is used to record achievement against the NC objectives for Languages.
