Why Schools Stick with Language Magnet

Find out what makes Language Magnet such an attractive foreign language provider for Primary Schools

Bonjour! ¡Hola! Hello there, brilliant language champions! 💬

It’s Magnus here – your ever-curious, globe-trotting mascot from Language Magnet. Today I want to talk about something we’re incredibly proud of… something you won’t hear every day.

Every school that has joined Language Magnet has renewed their subscription! Awesome!

So why do schools stick with Language Magnet?
Now, I could list all the clever features and benefits (and I will, a little bit!), but I think it’s far more powerful for you to hear directly from the wonderful teachers who use Language Magnet in their classrooms.

So let’s explore what’s making such a difference to schools, teachers, and – most importantly – children.

1. Teachers Feel Supported – Even Without Language Experience

We know that MFL (Modern Foreign Languages) can sometimes feel daunting, especially if you’re new to it or haven’t taught it in a while. But Language Magnet takes away the stress and replaces it with structure, support, and confidence.

As one teacher put it:

“Language Magnet has been an enormous boost to our MFL learning and has made a huge impact with both staff and children. The platform has given support to those staff who may not have taught MFL previously (or who are a little rusty!) by providing a complete teaching and learning experience.”

Our CPD training is included (yes, no extra cost!) and designed to build confidence while improving classroom delivery:

“The CPD that staff can access has improved both the delivery of the curriculum and staff confidence.”

2. Children Love Learning – And It Shows

Our goal is to make language learning fun, functional and achievable. We use interactive audio, fun resources, engaging visuals and functional activities that children love to return to. Just listen to this:

“The children respond well to both presentations and activities and love speaking another language. Everyone is well supported and the materials are well balanced with support and challenges, as appropriate.”

We’ve even heard this (which makes my magnetic feet buzz with excitement!):

“Language Magnet has, in our school, created a thirst for learning and children who are confident enough to speak in another language – for some children, it is their 3rd or even 4th language!”
How amazing is that?

3. Structured, Creative and Clever Teaching Tools

One of the clever techniques we use is Colourful Semantics, and it’s proving to be a real game-changer in classrooms:

“One of its standout features is the integration of Colourful Semantics… helping students identify words within sentences and build their linguistic knowledge in a structured and visual way. This method enhances comprehension, reinforces grammar structures and supports long-term retention.”

Add to that scaffolded progression and a carefully structured curriculum, and you have a complete system for success.

“The scaffolded progression allows children to develop confidence in listening, speaking, reading and writing in Spanish (or French) at an age-appropriate pace.”

4. Efficient, Cost-Effective and Time-Saving

Budget and time – two things teachers never have enough of! That’s why we’ve made sure Language Magnet is both affordable and efficient.

“Language Magnet is highly cost-effective – there is no need for textbooks or pupil workbooks due to the resources provided with every lesson and assessment. The CPD is included so there is no extra cost for staff training.”

“It provides comprehensive lesson plans and interactive materials, saving teachers planning time while ensuring consistently high-quality teaching.”

5. Real Progress – Clearly Evident

And of course, what matters most is the progress children make. It’s visible, measurable, and – dare I say – wonderful.

“Assessing our children’s learning has been very straightforward and their progress is obvious when we study the data.”

“The results we are currently achieving mean our children can read, write and speak another language with increasing confidence.”

It’s about creating not just learners, but confident communicators who are proud to speak and write in another language.

6. A Truly Immersive Experience

Language Magnet becomes more than a programme – it becomes part of your school’s identity:

“When we invested in Language Magnet, we created a wonderfully immersive learning experience for our school – how lucky we are!”

So, there you have it – the secret behind our 100% re-subscription rate is no secret at all. It’s the joy, the structure, the support and the results – all coming together in one place, ready to be shared with children who are eager to learn.

Thank you to all the incredible teachers and schools who’ve trusted us and continue to grow with us.

Languages are fun. They are accessible. And yes – they are for everyone.

With love and language,
