From nurseries to primary schools, specialist French and Spanish teaching that covers the curriculum, frees up PPA time, and gives your pupils lessons they actually look forward to. Delivered by fluent, DBS-checked teachers, with everything planned for you.
At Fun Languages we’ve spent 40 years bringing French and Spanish to children across the UK. We’ve developed courses for every stage, from early years through to the end of primary, each delivered by specialist teachers who take the planning and delivery off your hands. Whether you need PPA cover, dedicated curriculum teaching, an early years introduction, or an after-school club, we make languages easy for your school and engaging for your pupils.
Every school is different, so we offer language teaching in three ways. Whether you’re after curriculum coverage during the school day, a gentle introduction for your youngest children, or an after-school club to round off the week, there’s an option to suit. Here’s how we can help.
Our teachers deliver high-quality French or Spanish lessons during the school day. Your pupils get expert language teaching, and your staff get their planning, preparation and assessment time, curriculum coverage and PPA cover in one, with no extra workload for your team.
It’s never too early to introduce a new language. In the early years, children absorb sounds and words with remarkable ease, and our nursery sessions make the most of that natural ability through songs, movement, stories and play.
Our sessions are pitched perfectly for little ones, short, lively and full of fun, so those first French or Spanish words feel like part of playtime rather than a lesson. Children build confidence, listening skills and a love of language that gives them a head start when they reach school.
Delivered by the same fluent, DBS-checked teachers as our school courses, with everything planned and provided. All your setting needs to do is enjoy watching your children take to it.
If you’d rather offer languages outside the school day, we can run fun clubs at lunchtime, after school, or even breakfast and holiday clubs. Same quality teaching, same engaging approach, just at a time that suits you.
Children learn differently at every age, so our courses grow with them. From a child’s very first words in nursery to confident communication by the end of primary, each stage builds naturally on the last, with materials and teaching designed specifically for that age group.
It's never too early to start. Our nursery sessions introduce French and Spanish to your youngest learners through songs, movement, stories and play. Children absorb language naturally at this age, and our sessions make those first words feel like fun rather than learning.
In KS1, children build vocabulary across a wide range of topics and lay the foundations for KS2, while discovering celebrations and culture from French and Spanish-speaking countries. Lessons are full of songs and games, helped along by Hugo Escargot and Pepe Caracole, our puppet friends who only speak French and Spanish.
Our KS2 courses follow the QCA recommended schemes of work for primary languages, designed for children learning from Year 3 through to the end of Year 6. We cover every element of the primary curriculum, and our teachers can flex the course to fit shorter teaching times where needed.
Our courses run across three levels, beginners, silver and gold, so children are always learning at the right stage and building on what they know. Every lesson blends storytelling, drama, songs, games and writing, keeping pupils engaged while steadily developing real language skills.
Each child works through our full-colour exercise books, designed to demonstrate clear progress from the start of the course to the end. Every book includes vocabulary for each lesson, a vocabulary list, phonics word bank, grammar points and useful phrases. Activities are differentiated by outcome, so every child can succeed at their own level, evidence that’s ready whenever you need to show it.
Our courses are complemented by Babelzone, our interactive online learning platform. With over 300 resources across 24 curriculum units, including animated songs, games, phonics, soundbites and printable activities, it supports teaching in the classroom and learning at home. Every child gets free home access to practise between lessons or for homework, so language learning continues beyond the school gates.
Getting languages into your school shouldn’t be hard work. From first enquiry to the first lesson, we handle the details so you don’t have to. Most schools are up and running within a few weeks.
