The Languages Company

Despite the decision not to proceed with the new primary curriculum which would have included languages as statutory in Key Stage 2, the new Government has confirmed its commitment to the importance of primary languages.  It believes that languages are important for the social and economic future of the country and that they help young people to understand the world and its cultures.  Existing funding for primary languages continues until 2011 and is intended in particular to support workforce development.  What happens after that will depend on the outcomes of the spending review and also on the review of the National Curriculum due to begin this autumn.
