Primary Languages Teachers

Primary Languages Network offers a quality language teaching and learning service in French, Spanish or German to Primary Schools in the North West area.

The successful programme has been operating for over 5 years with trained Primary Language Teachers (QTS) and Assistants who are either native speaker or fluent in the target language. They receive regular training and teach to the requirements of the DfE KS2 Languages PoS.

Schools receive comprehensive lesson planning, medium term plans and long term planning, to enable substantial progress in language learning in KS2 (also in KS1).

The service is offered as an in-school weekly service at a fixed hourly rate based on the experience of the Language Assistant/Teacher and the service required by the school.
