Support for Parents and Carers

Inspire parents and carers to encourage their kids to develop their love of learning languages

We’ve created a vibrant collection of posters, flyers and videos to highlight some of the benefits of studying a language. Centred on three key languages taught in schools, these materials are designed to resonate with both students and their parents or carers. You can download these resources using the links at the bottom of this page.

  • For pupils: The poster, “Languages Could Take You Further,” is designed to spark curiosity and excitement. 
  • For parents/carers: The version, “Languages Could Take Your Child Further,” highlights the long-term advantages of language learning. 

We’ve also created a handy A4 flyer, perfect for distributing at parents’ evenings to spark conversations about the value of language learning. 

These designs have already been part of a successful social media campaign and may feel familiar to parents in your school community.
