FOREIGN Language Programme

At RIS, we teach Arabic as a native and additional language within our curriculum offer, from EYFS to Year 6. We also offer French as an additional language to all students, from Year 3 to Year 6. If your child is new to the English Language (i.e. ELL), they may choose to opt out of French for one year upon joining the school, in lieu of additional English language learning opportunities. This temporary curriculum modification would be based on a formal, mutual agreement between home and school.

As a part of the curriculum, we offer the following:

Arabic, Islamic Studies and Social Studies

French

French is taught throughout Key Stage 2 (Year 2 onwards) by a specialist French Teacher. The lessons are designed predominantly to develop a student's listening and speaking skills. Lessons also develop reading and writing skill and use a wide range of audio-video stimuli.
