Primary EYFS, KS1 & KS2 French Schemes of Work
Below is a comprehensive list of schemes of work for teaching KS1 and KS2 French. Most of these resources are designed with non-specialist teachers in mind, so no prior knowledge of teaching French will be needed. For that reason many will come with comprehensive CPD, including guidance on pronunciation.
We also list schemes of work for other languages taught at primary level, such Spanish, German, Chinese Mandarin and Latin. You can stay up to date with the latest French curriculum releases, offers and CPD by signing up to our monthly newsletter here.
Scheme Support is also a member of the Amazon Associate programme. We receive a small affiliate revenue from any Amazon product link you purchase from below which goes towards supporting the site.
