Curriculum Intent

At The Lowry Academy, we aim to promote languages and believe that learning a foreign language is vital to our students to give them a wider breadth of experience, knowledge and understanding of the world that they would not otherwise receive and provide an opening to other cultures. A high-quality languages education should stimulate students’ curiosity and deepen their understanding of the wider world taking them beyond their immediate local area and raising their aspirations. We endeavour to teach new content in a creative and stimulating way to widen students’ knowledge of the culture, history and literature of the new language. We hope that at the end of their language journey, students will have a love of languages that they will want to continue to develop.
