Official Schemes
of Work
for primary schools (KS2) in England &
Wales
These materials, the advice
to teachers, and the course structure have been
carefully designed to fit with various official
(but not compulsory) guidelines - see above. The
QCA/DFEE publishes schemes of work and a teacher's
guide, and you can view and download them from the
Standards Site in either Acrobat PDF or MS Word
format:

The non-compulsory schemes
have been updated to support those primary,
middle and special schools that are currently
teaching, or planning to teach, a modern foreign
language at key stage 2.
The scheme provides a
flexible framework designed to help schools to
develop or adapt their own schemes for a 4-year
course. It comprises an overview and 24 units
for French, and overviews (and similar units for
Spanish and German).
Non-specialist class teachers
may find some of the suggested work too demanding,
but the Scheme of Work does offer a useful
benchmark against which to compare what you decide
to do - and it does contain some interesting lesson
ideas!
