Interventions to raise attainment in MFL

Languages and humanities Interventions Middle leadership
A project focused on raising attainment in French and Spanish saw Karine Buffon introduce a number of interventions, especially targeting disadvantaged and underachieving pupils

I joined Jo Richardson Community School, a secondary school in Dagenham, London, in 2010. At the time, the number of students getting A* to C grades in French was low – just 39 per cent. However, we believed that students of French who achieved a grade lower than a C in their GCSE exam would have been able to pass their exam if they had received more focused interventions.

When I joined Teaching Leaders in 2014, a leadership development programme, I began to work on an impact initiative – an improvement strategy that I could implement as part of my new role as head of MFL (French and Spanish).
