There's some fabulous work going on in Languages across the @LEADAcadTrust academies. It was a pleasure to meet with the subject leader for @ManorFarmSchool today - and his assistant, Didier! The pupils at the school love Didier - and Dan too!
@LEADAcadTrust have been lucky enough to have @David_Sanako talk to Y9 students in our 3 secondary academies about the importance of studying a language to GCSE. David's talks were brilliant as ever! "Merci" @birleyacademy@noelbakerlead@davincilead staff & pupils
Monitoring assessing & evidencing progress in primary languages are all tricky to get right. We all definitely feel far more prepared after a superb presentation from @ECCMFL who talked us through so many strategies for ensuring we do this well. Merci! #LEADPRILANGS24@LEADTSHub
I love a presentation that takes its inspiration from #westlife - @lisibo didn't disappoint with her "More Than Words" session this afternoon at the @LEADTSHub event for KS2 Languages. We were left simultaneously energised & gasping for breath! #LEADPRILANGS24@LEADAcadTrust
Aga from @sycamorelead gave us a fabulous presentation at our #LEADPRILANGS24 event about the work going on in her school and the success of the trips made by the school to their partner school in Menorca after successfully applying for Turing funding @LEADTSHub@LEADAcadTrust
Our third @LEADTSHub#LEADPRILANGS24after the break is being delivered by the wonderful Laura from @millfieldlead@LEADAcadTrust. She's sharing all the fantastic work that goes on in the international, intercultural and multicultural environment in her school. Wow!
Our second session at our #LEADPRILANGS24@LEADTSHub online event for KS2 Languages is being delivered by Kate Clifton, the face behind Kate Languages. We're looking at ways of embedding target language into everyday teaching @LEADAcadTrust Lots of useful tips!
A fabulous start to the @LEADTSHub#LEADPRILANGS24 event with the wonderful @LanguageAngels_ talking about the role of the subject leader. Thank you Francesca and Paolo for interrupting your holiday to join us! @LEADAcadTrust
Don't forget to book on the @LEADTSHub primary language conference. It's online 26/06. Our fantastic line up includes @LanguageAngels_@lisibo Kate Languages & @ECCMFL, plus some fabulous practising teachers. To book https://t.co/8PkavHjFbd Happy half term!
In one of our final @LEADTSHub secondary MFL event sessions @TracyWilliamsAT got us all thinking hard about speaking. Now to ask pupils I work with to visualise what sort of linguists they want to be - & try to help them to achieve that! What a great day! #LEADSECLANGS24
At the @LEADTSHub secondary online Languages event @wendyadeniji gave us a wonderful, clear and practical presentation on curriculum design in the light of the impending new exam specs. Key advice about the power of explicit instruction when teaching phonics #LEADSECLANGS24
Absolutely fascinating to listen to @stacielallan from @StephenSpender talking about the power of translation and, to quote a Y8 student who took part in a translation workshop, how it helps you to "think in your own way." Great stuff! @LEADTSHub#LEADSECLANGS24
The @LEADTSHub secondary languages event has got off to a fantastic start with an incredible session delivered by the wonderful @HelenMyers looking at the new specs for the GCSE to be examined in 2026. Wow! Such a fantastic body of work - thank you! #LEADSECLANGS24
