French lessons are taught to pupils from Years 1 to 6 at Kew College. Multimedia plays a large part in our French lessons; with music, interactive software and drama used regularly.

Pupils are taught familiar themes such as:

In Years 5 & 6, pupils build on these foundations, in particular, the Verbs “avoir” and “ĕtre” – two important auxiliaries- and some first group verbs.
