Sound familiar?

You already know languages needs fixing.

Most headteachers we talk to already know languages is the gap. They just haven't found a solution that actually sticks — until PLN.

  • Teachers who don't feel confident delivering it
  • No consistent approach across year groups
  • Hard to evidence progress at inspection
  • Provision that depends on one person not leaving

Common questions

FAQs

What is PLN and how is it different from other primary languages schemes?

PLN is a complete digital platform — not just a scheme of work. As well as a full curriculum for KS1–KS2, it includes Video2Teach (a native speaker who co-teaches every lesson on screen), Language Boosters (a dedicated pupil engagement app), physical workbooks, coordinator CPD, and ongoing support. Everything works together, in one place, set up for you from day one.

Do my teachers need to speak the language?

No. Video2Teach is designed specifically for non-specialist teachers — a native speaker leads every lesson on screen, so your teacher's job is to manage the room and build confidence alongside their pupils. Over time, most teachers find their own language knowledge grows too.

What languages does PLN cover?

French, Spanish and German — all available across all membership tiers, for KS1 and KS2.

How does the free trial work?

Your 28-day trial gives you full access to the PLN platform — including Video2Teach lessons, the Language Boosters app, and all planning resources. We set up your account for you, so you can log in and start teaching straight away. No payment details required.

What's the difference between Premium Plus and the Languages Momentum Programme?

Premium Plus is the complete platform — everything your school needs to deliver excellent primary languages. The Languages Momentum Programme adds a full year of structured mentorship on top: termly diagnostics, a personalised CPD pathway, and direct guidance from Will Lloyd and Kate Percival. It's for schools that need more than a platform — they need someone walking them through the right steps, in the right order, to turn languages around completely.

Is PLN suitable for MATs?

Yes — and we have a dedicated MAT offer. Kate Percival works directly with Multi-Academy Trusts to build trust-wide consistency in primary languages, including a free MAT audit tool and bespoke trust-wide CPD. Find out more about PLN for MATs →
