“You can never understand one language until you understand at least two”

Geoffrey Willans

At Valentine we believe it is vital that children are equipped with a critical understanding of the opportunities that will open up to them with the ability to communicate in a different language. Further, we know language teaching develops:

• An appreciation of other cultures and traditions;
• An in-depth knowledge and re-enforcement of a child’s understanding and acquisition of grammatical knowledge and application;
• It underpins language and communication by improving speech and pronunciation skills
