Madame Rowsell has had a wonderful impact on languages at our school.

To ensure the children at our school develop the skills needed to become confident linguists, they are taught by Madame Rowsell, from Lingotot. Madame Rowsell’s immersive teaching methods enable our children to communicate effectively in French, by gradually building their knowledge over the four years of KS2 through learning exciting songs, playing speaking and listening games and engaging with written resources.

Both our pupils and staff thoroughly enjoy our French lessons and have an increased awareness of the fundamental skills of learning a language. Madame Rowsell has had a wonderful impact on languages here at our school and we are so grateful for the positive influence she has had!

Extremely dependable, high-quality teaching in MFL

Before working with Lingotot, staff had very little knowledge or experience of teaching MFL, meaning that they lacked confidence with curriculum delivery. MFL was therefore given less curriculum priority and occasionally left out altogether.

Our pupils enjoy their MFL sessions, increasing their exposure to, and confidence in, using spoken and written French. We have expanded this to include all pupils across KS2 and hope that, by the end of the four years, this leaves our pupils well-prepared for the next stage of their learning journey, along with an appreciation of other countries and their language & culture. The use of song, drama and discussion make the lessons easy to engage in and interactive for our pupils.

Lingotot have offered a range of afterschool clubs including other languages and drama, which have been well-received by pupils. We enjoy offering this provision and supporting the children develop their understanding of other languages, in a fun way.

We have developed a great working relationship with Amy and her staff. They tailor their provision to the needs of the school, are flexible to accommodate to the logistics of the school timetable and also bring ideas to enrich the life of the school. We have found them to be extremely dependable provision and, with the added benefit of using qualified teaching staff, we know that our children are able to receive high-quality teaching in MfL.

We fully value the impact Lingotot has had on our children

Lingotot has made a huge impact to Marshbrook children. Children look forward to French lessons each week, they have fun, learn and talk about French with Madame Rowsell to their parents and each other frequently. Standards in French are improving throughout the school and Christmas songs sang in French even featured in our Christmas Play!

Staff are highly complimentary about Lingotot and have learnt much themselves about teaching French from the CPD provided. I highly recommend Lingotot. At Marshbrook First School we fully value the impact that this has had on our children.
