Clarity for teachers.
Confidence for pupils.
PLN workbooks give every pupil their own book for the year — activities aligned lesson by lesson, evidence built in, and less workload for teachers. No printing. No loose sheets. No glue sticks.
Maximise learning.
Minimise hassle.
Most primary languages lessons rely on worksheets — printed one by one, often in black and white, lost between lessons, adding cost and workload that nobody needs.
PLN workbooks replace all of that. One book per pupil. All year. Every lesson covered. Activities are built directly into the scheme of work — pupils open their book and the lesson is already there.
From September 2026, PLN lessons reference workbook pages directly — so the scheme and the workbook work as one system, not two separate things.
One book per pupil, all year
Everything a pupil needs in one place — a task for every PLN lesson, start to finish.
Fully aligned with the scheme
Tasks are built into the PLN scheme of work — not an add-on. Open the book, do the lesson.
Evidence built in
Pupil progress is captured lesson by lesson — clear, physical evidence for monitoring and assessment.
Cheaper than printing
Printing one colour worksheet costs 8–15p a page. A 50-page workbook at £3.50 saves money and time.
Schools that have made the switch.
Absolute godsend!
The children really enjoy their workbooks and it provides a good focus for each lesson. They are accessible for all groups of learners.
Saves workload and the children are loving the books and activities!
The activities align perfectly with the lessons and the children enjoy doing them. Not only that, but they save so much teacher time and lesson time.
