Intent: French– Reading

Our school aims:
Through our Christian values, we aim for:

• Happy, kind individuals;
• Opportunities for all;
• Love of learning for life;
• Motivated children who can thrive and succeed; 
• Empowered children equipped with the skills to flourish in the wider world;
• Resilient, respectful and responsible children.

The curriculum is designed with our pupils and the Holmer community in mind. It enables children to access and enhance their understanding of their home, their city and the wider community, developing their cultural capital and giving them opportunities and choices about their future and their impact as they progress through their school career and beyond. This will help them become successful members of modern British society, preparing them for the challenges and opportunities.
