Are you ready to shape the next generation of language teachers?

With the UK government continuing to fall short of its Modern Foreign Language (MFL) teacher recruitment targets, this is the perfect opportunity to nurture talented educators while enriching your school community.

We are inviting new partner schools to join us.

Why partner with us?

Develop future MFL leaders
As a partner school, you’ll play a pivotal role in training aspiring MFL teachers, providing hands-on teaching experience in your classrooms. Many of our partner schools go on to hire their trainees, ensuring a seamless transition into the teaching profession.

Build stronger teacher networks
Strengthen your school's connection with the wider educational community. The National Modern Languages SCITT fosters a collaborative environment where you can network with other schools and share best practice.

Professional growth for your MFL department
Your mentors will benefit from professional development opportunities, including structured mentoring programmes, access to up-to-date training materials, and exposure to the latest teaching methodologies. Mentors can also contribute to our course by participating in delivering training, interviewing, and assessing trainees, gaining valuable leadership experience.

Financial and institutional benefits
Receive funding for hosting a trainee and increase your school's profile as a key educational partner.

Access a strong talent pool
Our trainees come from diverse backgrounds – recent graduates, career changers, and native speakers – but they share one common trait: a passion for languages. We recruit only the most capable linguists who are well prepared to excel in our rigorous training programme.

Become a partner school
If your state or independent secondary school offers Modern Languages (French, Spanish, German, Japanese, Italian, Mandarin, or Arabic) and has the capacity to mentor and support trainee teachers, we would love to hear from you.
