Sound familiar?

You already know languages needs fixing.
The question is how.

Languages is the one curriculum gap that keeps surfacing — in planning meetings, in Ofsted conversations, in the back of your mind when a parent asks how their child is getting on.

It's not for lack of trying. It's that most solutions leave teachers to figure it out alone — and without a consistent system, confidence stays low, delivery stays patchy, and the problem stays unsolved.

the right system

Most schools see a measurable shift in teacher confidence within the first half-term.

Subject lead carrying it alone — no wider ownership
Native speaker on screen — every lesson, every class, every teacher
Consistent, structured progression from Reception to Year 6
Diagnostics and impact reports ready to share at any moment
Children asking when languages is next — engagement you can see
Whole-school ownership — languages is part of who you are
✓ Ofsted Outstanding — Quality of Education
Our school loves it — pupils and teachers alike. It's gone from being a session people dread to teach to one that is welcomed and celebrated. We had an Ofsted inspection and MFL was chosen for a deep dive by a French HMI — and he awarded us Outstanding for Quality of Education.

★★★★★

The confidence it gives our staff to teach Spanish effectively is priceless. Spanish is now consistently being taught across the school, allowing children to get the enjoyment out of languages that they should.

Tom Hooper Headteacher

Staff have adopted the scheme with a smile and heart-felt thanks. From children to HLTAs, teachers and the MFL lead — PLN has helped us all improve in confidence and subject coordination.

Andrea Berry MFL Lead

Common questions

Everything you need to know

Does this work for non-specialist teachers? +

Absolutely — it's designed that way first. Video2Teach puts a native speaker in every lesson, handling pronunciation and pace. Most schools only need one whole-staff CPD session, then teachers deliver confidently from day one. HLTAs and PPA cover teachers use it successfully too.

How quickly will we see a difference? +

Schools consistently report a measurable shift in teacher confidence within the first half-term. Within 30 days you'll see more consistent delivery, more engaged pupils, and staff who no longer dread the languages slot. That's our guarantee.

What's included in the free trial? +

Full access to the Premium Plus platform for 28 days — Video2Teach, Click2Teach, CPD Zone, Language Boosters app, and all documentation. No credit card required. You'll also get a setup call to make sure everything is configured for your school from the start.

What is the Languages Momentum Programme? +

LMP is a 12-month guided transformation for schools that want more than a scheme — they want a system. You get a kickoff call with Will Lloyd, a bespoke action plan, three termly mentor sessions, diagnostic assessments, an end-of-year impact report, and full Premium Plus. £995+VAT, September 2026. Limited spaces.

Do you work with MATs? +

Yes — we have a dedicated MAT offer and our own MAT Lead, Kate Percival. We provide a scalable, consistent model across your trust with trust-wide evidence and flexible implementation. Download our MAT info pack or get in touch to discuss your trust's needs.

How does it help with Ofsted? +

The platform includes Ofsted-ready documentation, structured progression evidence, diagnostic assessments, and impact reports. Several of our schools have received Outstanding for Quality of Education in MFL deep dives. The evidence is built in as you go — not scrambled together the night before.
