The Ashley Down Schools Federation (ADSF) is a dynamic pairing of two primary schools with Teaching School status. We pride ourselves on being innovative and for constantly striving to improve the quality of our teaching and curriculum. Our Modern Foreign Languages (MFL) mission is to create lifelong linguists. We want to send our pupils to secondary school with an enthusiasm and desire to learn languages. In response to the introduction of compulsory languages in 2014, the school decided to cease teaching both French and Spanish and to focus on French only. We also set an objective to move away from languages being taught in discrete lessons by a specialist language teacher. The model that we developed started from the position that French would not become embedded in our curriculum if it was taught once a week by an “expert”. Instead, by encouraging staff themselves as linguists, our aim was to bring French up the agenda for class teachers and give them the resources and opportunities to embed it in their day to day teaching. This “little and often” approach is universally agreed to be the most effective way of teaching languages. We requested funding from Erasmus+ KA1 "Learning Mobility of Individuals" for eight participants and were successful in our bid. The teachers who have taken part in the training were all either already teaching in Key Stage Two, or were about to move into that Key Stage. Three had a high level of French at the start of the project and were already teaching French at ADSF. Two were chosen because as confident speakers of Spanish, they had quickly begun to pick up French whilst attending the evening classes offered by the school. One of the participants made terrific progress during the project and is now confidently teaching French in Year 5 and thoroughly enjoying it. She rated her confidence to teach French as 0 when she first started attending the evening classes and 8 after she had attended the immersion course in France. In the 2014-2015 year French was taught by two specialist language teachers, but now there are nine class teachers delivering French across Key Stage Two. We are incredibly proud of the progress made by our colleagues, and not just the eight that have had the amazing experience of attending the Languages for Education Europe (LFEE) immersion course in France. The evening classes in Bristol have also enabled additional teachers to reach a level of French where they have felt confident to start teaching the language to their class. Whilst several of those now teaching French do not have the same language level as a specialist teacher, they do have the pedagogical skills to teach basic French and the knowledge of their pupils to differentiate accordingly. Importantly, they all acknowledge their own role as language learners and this is reflected in their honest approach to learning French alongside their pupils. We will continue to develop our French teaching through the development of quality resources and by continually developing the language skills of our staff. In the longer term, we want to use our experience with Erasmus+, and our role leading the Ashley Down Teaching School Alliance in Bristol to support other Bristol schools to deliver high quality MFL provision. The Erasmus+ funding has provided us with an amazing opportunity to carry out a phase of intensive language teaching for our colleagues which has enabled them to teach their pupils French and to embed it in everyday life at Ashley Down Schools Federation. We would like to thank the team at the British Council and the team at LFEE for enabling ADSF to make such huge progress in the teaching of French over the past two years.
