The figures are based on a representative sample of maintained primary schools and the survey achieved a 48 per cent. response rate nationally.
The major languages taught in primary schools in London were French, German, Italian and Spanish. Other languages taught in a small number of schools included Chinese, Japanese, Urdu, Panjabi, Hebrew, Turkish, Albanian and Bengali.
