Language Angels is the scheme we use across our whole school including KS1. This is the only programme which clearly outlines every lesson, every unit and most importantly the clear progression for children as they go through Key Stage 2. It quite frankly could not be any easier to teach MFL in your school using this scheme of work. Paolo and the team are on hand if you want to ask any questions, day and night and offer phenomenal and meaningful CPD to teachers regardless of their own language ability. I have found the implementation of Spanish in my school easier as the MFL lead, as you cannot go wrong even if you are not a language specialist. Each lesson is supported by lesson plans, teacher notes and full PowerPoints with language pronunciation buttons for those less confident teachers. The children are engaged with lessons as they have fun, especially with the karaoke songs. The children have a clear understanding of what they are learning and why and can see their own progression through each unit. We have used this scheme for over 3 years now and I know there is no better scheme out there for language teaching. As busy professionals, as teaching is, this programme takes away that stress and worry that you are meeting all curriculum requirements especially when you have important visitors in school. Quite simply because you will be and you can prove it too! The units are set out in such a way that you can tailor make them to fit your own school curriculum and ethos. We have been able to link all of our enquiry topics to a unit from Language Angels ensuring we are offering a broad and balanced curriculum to our children. You can be assured by following Language Angels, you are teaching effective and purposeful lessons to children, opening their world to the joy that is understanding and speaking a different language. They are building a wonderful foundation of language learning that will grow with them through their educational journey. Thank you, Language Angels, for all of your hard work and your fantastic scheme. I could go on for hours but really, to feel the true benefit of this, just try one lesson, I promise you, your school won’t look back once they have experienced this scheme.

Our school aims to instill a love of language learning in our pupils. Using Language Angels is helping us do just that!. There are so many exciting and interesting topics to choose from the more traditional units to the unusual cross curricular ones. Lessons plans and resources are high quality and accessible for specialist and non specialist teachers alike. The lessons ensure optimum progress by embedding the grammar the pupils need to become linguists rather than simply learning vocabulary by rote. Curiosity is further fostered amongst our pupils by the inclusion of cultural lessons and interesting assembly materials. We have only just started using Language Angels but are already Language Angels fans.

We have been using Language Angels for 5 years now and their website is only getting better and better. It is the perfect solution for delivering MFL in primary schools even whether you have or do not have a specialist teacher in school. The differentiated levels, as in “most”, “some” and “a few” children, are also a great help to show progression. They also provide invaluable support with plenty of ready-made resources and excellent guidance regarding the curriculum. I would like to take this opportunity to thank their team for their fantastic work and their availability when we needed it.

As a new FL lead, I introduced the use of Language Angels to assist the delivery of the Italian language into our school, at the beginning this academic year. We were in need of a new scheme that was easy to use and engaged both pupils and teachers. I am pleased to say that Language Angels was certainly the right choice! Lessons are fun, enjoyable and pupil progress has been evident throughout. The range of activities, songs and games have really helped to develop pupil confidence and have enhanced their knowledge and skills. Staff confidence in teaching a foreign language has also increased thanks to this clear, easy to use scheme. Assessments have helped to track progress and have been an extremely useful tool. Any issues or queries regarding theme scheme have been dealt with promptly and efficiently. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Language Angels for use in your school.

Language Angels has been a very valuable investment for our primary school. French is now taught with confidence and clear progression from Reception through to Year 6 by not only class teachers but also teaching assistants. The program provides fantastic teaching materials - power points, songs, worksheets, quizzes, puzzles and games ensuring all children are challenged in their learning of French. Lesson plans, unit summaries, support notes and vocabulary are very comprehensive. This program is wonderful and I highly recommend it.

We subscribed to Language Angels this year when I took up the role of Director of Languages across our Academy Trust. We are three schools and I teach in two of the schools. I have a group of teachers in my third school who are non-specialists and are absolutely loving teaching Spanish using Language Angels. I have done some observations on my non specialists and the level of language the children have is amazing. Both staff and students are absolutely loving the lessons and learning alongside one another. A huge well done to all Language Angels staff for producing such an amazing resource.

We have been using Language Angels to teach French for several years now and it is very popular with pupils and teachers. Everything you need is included. There is a PowerPoint for every lesson and these are colourful and varied, with lots of games and interactive features to keep the children engaged and challenged. There are also differentiated worksheets and songs for most lessons. Our children absolutely love the songs and request them every lesson! They really help children retain the vocabulary. The assessment and tracking features are easy to use and help us assess children's speaking, listening, reading and writing skills effectively. I highly recommend Language Angels.

As a teacher who was new to being a subject lead, Language Angels has been a dream to use. Their lessons are sequenced well and have adaptations for mixed year group planning. We had a deep dive into French as part of an Ofsted inspection in the summer and all of the documentation Language Angels provided helped me massively! Their CPD courses have been relevant and useful - particularly those for Ofsted and bringing the language alive around the school. I simply cannot fault their service as they are quick to reply to any questions and support you where needed!

Language Angels has transformed our MFL curriculum. Staff and pupils absolutely love the high-quality resources and sequences of lessons. Paolo and the team are on hand at any time and provide swift answers to any questions they are asked. There are training sessions and lots of support available. For a non specialist, this resource is excellent - easy to use, friendly and professional contacts and excellent language acquisition.

Language Angels has made teaching Spanish far easier for our teaching staff. Its clear structure means that pupils build on their learning. Additionally, the pronunciation files ensure that words are spoken correctly, and the assessment opportunities help to monitor progress easily. Many thanks, Language Angels!
