The French and Spanish courses for Key Stage 2 have been designed for children aged 7 to 11. They provide primary school aged children with a solid foundational course for further secondary school level French and Spanish study. The courses are also suitable for fast tracking older children in Years 7 and 8 (UK) in secondary schools, where pupils may have missed out on primary language education. The French and Spanish courses are also suitable for children who have Special Educational Needs.
Yes. There is a Key Stage 1 programme of topics available for younger learners aged 5 to 7 in both French and Spanish, plus an Early Years programme of topics for 3 and 4 year olds. The content for younger learners dovetails perfectly with the KS2 primary courses, enabling seamless progression and a head start with the main programme.

The vocabulary and grammar are fully explained throughout the course, and pronunciation support is embedded throughout the programme. Detailed lesson plans provide teachers and parents with the language teaching techniques for each activity, ensuring confidence with how to use the resources effectively. Further support is also available on the portal, in the form of live webinars, recorded training videos and full email support.
Yes, absolutely. The courses are suitable internationally for foundational French and Spanish, aimed at young learners in primary or elementary education. Although perfectly designed for the 7 to 11 age range, the course can also be used to fast track or fill in missing foundational language for students aged 12 and 13. Lesson plans and vocabulary meanings are all in English.
No. The portal provides a curriculum for teachers or parents to use as a tool for delivering high-quality French or Spanish within the classroom or at home. The platform is not design for self-directed pupil learning and we do not provide individual student logins. Teachers and parents facilitate their students’ or child’s learning by following the lesson plans and using the appropriate presentations and downloadable resources for each lesson. The lesson plans and presentations provide full support. The Interactive Games are designed for whole classroom use. Children who are home educated are able to play the games on a single device.
