Across all areas of the National Curriculum at Riverside Primary School, teachers set suitable learning challenges, respond to pupils’ diverse learning needs, modify the curriculum to remove any potential barriers to learning and assessment for particular individuals or groups of pupils. Teachers have an excellent knowledge of the needs of all pupils in their classes and are able to plan personalised and differentiated learning experiences which meet the needs of individual pupils. Inclusion is always at the centre of any teaching approach.

French- Supporting Children with SEND

In order to learn a language, there s a huge reliance on children’s working memory and developing an understanding of new vocabulary, phonics (sounds groups of letters makes) and grammar. Children are taught in a range of ways and will develop skills in reading, writing, listening, understanding and speaking French. We will teach children in a range of ways including, demonstrating, modelling and whole class work, games, songs, paired activities and role play.

In order that children can access language learning at Riverside we will ensure:

• opportunities for over learning
• careful planning of learning based on previous knowledge
• repetition
• use of visuals
• use of actions
• use of pre-learning or exposure to new vocabulary
