The aim of MFL at ICA is to provide students with an insight into other cultures and to embrace the differences that exist between the UK and French speaking countries worldwide. We believe learning a foreign language is a liberation from insularity and that in providing a high quality MFL curriculum helps foster our pupils’ curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world around them.

We strive to teach new content in a creative and stimulating way to widen pupils’ knowledge through culture, history and literature of the new language. We hope that upon ending their language learning experience at ICA, students will have a love of languages and will want to continue to develop their language skills, seeing these as important aspects of lifelong learning.
