Finance
There may be cover implications as staff will need to accompany
students on primary school visits or into lessons in KS3. The MFL
department will probably need to fund the cost of the Tutor's pack
and the Leaders' individual Log Books. It may be possible to use a
school mini-bus to transport the Language Leaders to local
primary schools but transport costs to primary schools must be
taken into account.
Time
It may be possible to deliver the Language Leaders Award in
curriculum time if students are in KS3. For KS4 students, it is
likely to have to be an extra-curricular or lunchtime activity.
Many schools, like the Harris School have a short lunchtime
break and it is therefore necessary to deliver sessions after
school, both for the participating students and to train other
members of the MFL department. Planning time for Languages
staff involved in the initiative will be necessary before
introducing the award.
The award is offered by Sports Leaders UK. For details
