Support

Sue Cave has 10 years-experience of supporting primary schools to deliver a foreign language in the Thames Valley. Her aim is to ensure that colleagues in schools have the confidence and ability to deliver high quality language lessons which meet the requirements of the Key Stage 2 Programme of Study. The combination of in-house lesson modelling with linguistic and methodology training sessions has proved to be the most effective way. See below for more information.
