Idle C.O.E Primary School 2025

To celebrate the European Day of Languages, a group of our students visited Idle Primary School, where they had the wonderful opportunity to teach French to Key Stage 2 pupils and lead a range of fun, interactive language activities.

Both the teachers at Idle and the staff from Immanuel were incredibly impressed with our students, who showed fantastic leadership, creativity, and confidence in the classroom. Some groups even designed their own French games, engaging the younger pupils with enthusiasm and energy.

Our students represented Immanuel brilliantly, leaving such a positive impression that we’ve already been invited back to teach again over Christmas!

We took a group of our students to volunteer teaching French to years 3-6. A few of them were nervous at first, but they applied their French knowledge to support the pupils and play different French games with them. All of them demonstrated a very strong PCH ethos.

They absolutely did Immanuel College proud and this was further enhanced when so many year 6s came in for Open Evening and recognised our students from earlier that day.

MFL Greengates Primary 2024

7 Students from Years 9 and 10 had the privilege to visit Greengates Primary School for an exciting Spanish workshop. The aim was to introduce the younger children to some Christmas-themed Spanish vocabulary, while giving the Immanuel students a chance to develop their leadership and teaching skills.

They started by working through festive-themed worksheets. The older students were fantastic, helping the primary children with pronunciation, translations, and completing the activities.

After the worksheets, the real fun began. Our students led a series of Spanish games designed to reinforce the vocabulary in a playful way. The primary children were enthusiastic and engaged, clearly enjoying the chance to learn through interactive activities. It was heartwarming to see the older students step up as leaders, explaining the games and encouraging the younger ones to participate.

The session was a great success, with both groups of students leaving the room beaming. It was a wonderful opportunity to bridge the gap between primary and secondary education and to celebrate the festive season with a shared love for learning.
