As a primary school firmly committed to developing our delivery of MFL we recognise that through this application we are seeking to ensure our staff are fully equipped with a firm background built on first hand knowledge, skills and understanding. We wish to continue to provide the inspirational work in MFL which has added excitement and meaning to the international work that is embedded across the school providing our rich international dimension. We intend to offer professional development training opportunities to a total of six staff members to enhance and further develop our provision for modern foreign language delivery. We hope to offer an equitable split of opportunity (benefit) across the three languages that the school currently offers, with two staff in each case attending training courses in France, Italy and Spain. We feel it is important to demonstrate to other staff and to our pupils the importance of visiting other European countries and to take appropriate to develop language skills and acquire an intercultural understanding and appreciation of our fellow Europeans. We believe that the impact of the training undertaken by the six participants can be multiplied through an effective dissemination and sharing strategy within the school. We consider this project to be a significant step in supporting our commitment to standards of learning and teaching excellence within the school .
