Is PPA language support not on your radar yet, even though you’re struggling to recruit good MFL staff? If not, why not, when MFL teacher recruitment in the UK is seriously under target, and our children’s language learning is paying the price?
The British Council’s latest Language Trends England 2025 research lays the crisis bare:
“Language Trends England 2025 surveyed teachers at more than 1,000 primary, secondary and independent schools to provide an up-to-date picture of language education in England… the report builds on findings from 2024, which revealed that six in ten secondary schools faced challenges recruiting qualified language teachers.”
What Does This Mean for Your School?
As a result, perhaps you too are juggling combined issues of:
- Unfilled language vacancies
- Overstretched non-specialist staff
- Larger class sizes with lower engagement
- A drop in language uptake at GCSE and A-Level
Worryingly, schools in disadvantaged areas are being hit hardest of all, causing widening gaps in language learning and missed opportunities for future success.
But help is at hand in the form of PPA language support.
