"Working with Catharine to deliver our Spanish curriculum has been a pleasure. It is one of the non-negotiables in our budget planning! The children really engage with the lessons and Catharine's enthusiasm is infectious. The children love it and have made fantastic progress!"

In year 6 the children had recently finished their workbook and so the teacher was teaching an end of unit assessment. They were due to start their new workbook after half term. The children were engaged in practical games following their learning of hobbies and sports in Spanish. The children followed instructions that Shannon gave in Spanish.

In all the lessons children were engaged, they enjoyed the practical activities and enjoyed the follow up activities.

I'd like to share the positive feedback I have had from both teachers and pupils for the lessons taught so far. The booklets are very easy to follow and the children seem much more engaged with their French learning.

My 4yr old learnt Spanish with Catharine and absolutely loved it! During the lockdowns the online classes were her favourite part of the week xx

Parent feedback from our Family class

Just taking a moment to shout out to Lingotot North Manchester for being so fab!

My G is doing so well with his Spanish class and has loads of fun! It's also worth mentioning that I really enjoy learning too :)

Catharine Townley has worked at St Margaret’s for several years, delivering Spanish lessons for children in Years 2 – 6, one day a week. Her lessons are engaging for children in each lesson. During her time at St Margaret’s, she has built good relationships with all the children she taught and also with staff, becoming part of our school community. Catharine has led and driven standards forward in Spanish, inspiring children when they leave St Margaret’s to take up Spanish at high school. She constantly assesses the children’s learning, clearly delivering lessons so all children can progress and develop under her teaching. As well as teaching Spanish, she also ran after school and lunch clubs, where children who had a passion for Spanish could attend these if they wanted. I would recommend Lingotot to support the teaching of MFL in your school as Catharine will bring energy, enthusiasm and passion to inspire learners.
