“You live a new life for every language you speak. If you only know one language, you only live once.” (Czech proverb)
At Low Ash, we believe that our pupils should be given a rich educational, social and cultural experience and we feel that learning a modern foreign language is an excellent gateway to achieve this. Learning another language further develops children’s communication skills. In addition to this, we believe that learning languages encourages our pupils to be respectful and tolerant of other children and gives them a new and broader perspective of the world in which they live. At Low Ash, we aspire to promote positive attitudes towards language learning and equip pupils with strong foundations for future learning. It is our belief that a knowledge of other languages is now essential in our ever more increasingly global society.
The modern foreign language we teach at Low Ash is Spanish. We have chosen this language as all of the secondary schools we feed into teach Spanish (they do not all teach the other modern foreign languages) and, due to the holidays our pupils might go on, there are more opportunities for them to practise Spanish than other modern foreign languages.
