What’s it about?

Primary languages are compulsory but schools can often struggle with this relatively new primary curriculum subject. It can be difficult to organise provision and document progression. In this webinar we'll tackle these issues through the lens of the Ofsted Deep Dive.

They will be supported by external speakers at event 1 including, subject to availability: Dr Marnie Seymour (Winchester); Bernardette Clinton (MFL Consultant Hackney Services for Schools); Claire Seccombe (Teacher and Consultant NE England).
