We are following a programme developed by the Primary Language Network. Since September 2014, the new National Curriculum has made learning a language compulsory in Key Stage 2. With Primary Languages Network’s team’s history, knowledge, and background, we were impressed with their standards, curriculum, and teaching style. Children are given opportunities to practise using their language skills recorded both in written and verbal methods; there are always games and songs among the many language acquisition activities. We aim to offer students a series of valuable experiences that cover the different aspects of learning. The majority of schools only offer the language that teachers feel most able to cope with, however, with Primary Languages Network, our teachers are able to learn on the go, teach interactively, attend CPD events, have the opportunity to practice conversationally and use of DVDs and online resources during class. They also provide the opportunity for staff to upskill their knowledge. Primary Languages Network has given our teachers and pupils confidence to speak another language and our teachers to support the children’s language learning at home.
