What they were looking for

A course to respond to the challenge of delivery Modern Foreign Language (MFL) in primary schools, which became mandatory in 2010.

How did we achieve this?

As a response to this mandatory change in teaching primary languages, The Open University developed a series of 30-hour CPD courses for teachers. Kent CC announced a pilot programme to teachers within their community and uptake has been extended to include over 40 teachers. A rigorous evaluation procedure, including the self-evaluation built into the course, will decide how to roll out the scheme across the county.
