Medway Languages Mark
The information below is intended for use by staff in Medway
schools and includes downloads in Microsoft Word format that you
may not be able to open.
Medway Languages Mark
Medway schools can apply to be awarded a bronze, silver or gold
Mark. Assessment involves a visit to observe teaching throughout a
key stage and a meeting with the subject leader to go through
documentary evidence. The criteria for the Medway Languages
Mark (Word 36KB) can be used to support the school in
developing its provision for languages.
The award scheme forms part of all schools’ self-evaluation
process. It uses criteria such as timetabling, international links,
policy, planning and staffing to measure their progress in language
teaching. When they have reached the required level, they can apply
to be assessed.
One of the key features of the assessment is sustainability and
schools need to demonstrate that all staff are involved with
language teaching and that they are making links with secondary
schools.
Medway audit
Every September, the council carries out an annual audit of
primary language provision. This form can also be used by schools
to support self-evaluation, to record progress towards entitlement
and to evaluate the quality of provision. The information gathered
during the auditing process is used by the council to plan training
and target support to those schools who require it. Planning for
the implementation of the 2010 Annual Audit of Practice in primary
languages at Key Stage 2 is now in progress. Download the Annual Audit Form
2010 (Word 288KB).
