Meet our MFL Lead
Meet Mrs. Chalk, our Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) lead at Parkwood! Mrs. Chalk is incredibly passionate about languages and believes they open doors to new cultures and understandings. Her goal is for every child at Parkwood to leave our school equipped to hold a basic, polite conversation in French. Our lessons are designed to be immersive, so children will hear and use the language naturally, while also exploring the vibrant and diverse French-speaking countries and cultures across our global community.
