Working in partnership with a partner school in a country where the target language is spoken is a great way of bringing language lessons alive. Pupils can make use of new technologies to contact their peers and learn about life in today’s France. A partner school link also provides staff with access to lots of contemporary source material and the chance to make video clips and recordings of native speakers to use in the classroom.
Our link schools are all in and around the Northern French town of Amiens and in County Durham’s partner county of the Somme. Work between schools in both counties is supported by school advisory staff and our international office.
