Fantastic News for our Primary Languages

We have just heard today that we have been successful in our bid for substantial funds to extend and develop our primary languages work. The funds have been provided through the Sharing Education Programme, by Atlantic Philanthropies and the International Fund for Ireland. The project will be led by Queens University, and will run until 2010. We are already offering languages to P6 and P1 pupils in seven of our feeder primaries. The new funding will enable us to bring in additional schools, and also to set up high quality, sustainable links among our primary partners. You will have seen some of the great pictures of primary link events iin the local press. Our staff have loved teaching the primary children, and we have had great feedback from the primary pupils. We are very excited by the enthusiasm locally for language learning and for the international dimension. Watch this space!
