Language Networks
Strategic Learning Networks connecting schools in communities of practice
Our 14 Language Networks are here to connect local and regional networks of primary and secondary schools to support their language teaching.
Your local way into the national community of practice: connect with colleagues across your region and gain facilitated access to the LEO platform and research insights – all completely free.
Language Networks’ role is to:
- Facilitate and contextualise the LEO platform to local and regional networks of primary and secondary schools
- Build capacity and communities of practice through webinars and teach meets
- Share research insights from NCLE’s National Priority Projects
Each Learning Network is coordinated by an NCLE lead school and leads a National Priority Project with coordination from a team of NCLE specialist advisers.
Language Networks support all colleagues with a role in languages education in your school:
- School leaders looking to strengthen language teaching and learning
- Heads of languages and professional mentors
- Secondary school language (MFL) teachers
- Teachers working within the Home, Heritage and Community Languages (HHCL) sphere
- Primary school teachers and leaders with responsibility for languages
- Trainee and early career teachers (ECTs)
- Initial Teacher Educators
- Non-specialist teachers or supply staff
