Summary
We can tailor our visits to suit your school - no probs!
What are the options?
- year group assemblies
- workshops for G&T pupils
- classroom presentations
- parent and governor evenings (yes, we'll even talk to your senior management team!
We like to keep our presentations interactive, so for smaller groups we adopt a workshop-style with small group work and structured Q & A sessions.
Which year group?
We think it helps most to work with pre-option groups (i.e. Year 8 in June, Year 9 before GCSE options, Year 11 before A1 choices, VI form before A2 choices and UCAS application). However, we are happy to fit into your department's strategy for motivating pupils and will do our best to fit your agenda.
We are particularly predisposed to attending schools who invite partner or feeder schools to the presentation.
Have we seen this presentation before?
We try to revamp our presentations every year, but yes, you may have heard some similar arguments before. However, our students are always enthused and convey their passion for languages with every word... and their personal experiences and reasons for learning languages are always very varied.
Does this cost a lot?
Due to our reduced funding we are now charging the small fee of £50 for a school visit. This covers the cost of two student ambassadors coming to your school for up to half a day. Should you require more than this then we will happily negotiate a price with you. I'm sure you'll agree this is excellent value for money.
