How strong is your
primary languages
provision?
Most schools have gaps they don't know about. This diagnostic tells you exactly which pillar is holding your school back — and where to focus first.
A clear picture of where your
languages provision actually stands.
Not a guess. Not a general sense. A specific, pillar-by-pillar breakdown of where you're strong and where you're fragile.
Your weakest pillar — identified
Know exactly which of the five pillars is holding your school back. Stop fixing the wrong things.
Where to focus first
A clear starting point. No more hoping languages improves — a specific next step based on your school's actual gaps.
An honest baseline
The kind of evidence that holds up in any conversation — with governors, SLT or inspectors.
Five pillars. Your diagnostic covers all of them.
Each pillar builds on the last. The diagnostic shows you exactly where in the sequence your school is — and where the gaps are.
Used by schools across the UK
Your results give you a clear narrative about languages — the kind that holds up under scrutiny.
You don't need to be a languages expert. The diagnostic works for headteachers and coordinators alike.
Schools in the Languages Momentum Programme run this diagnostic three times — start, middle, end of year.
