Welcome to the MFL Moodle!

It gives me great pleasure to welcome you to a new source of information for MFL leaders and teachers in Primary and Secondary settings in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

Here you will find a regularly updated bank of resources to support MFL Subject Leaders and teachers across Primary and Secondary schools and academies in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. A significant number of these resources will be accessible free of charge to anyone.

In addition, over the year a number of other resources will be added to the Moodle+ section of the site. These will be accessible to those with a Moodle+ paid subscription. These resources will usually be those which I have spent some considerable time creating and which can be used directly within school and the classroom.

The Moodle and Moodle+ for MFL is YOUR resource. As such, I welcome feedback from MFL and Headteacher colleagues about the usefulness of these resources and suggestions as to what other content would be of value in improving MFL teaching, outcomes and leadership in Hampshire schools and academies.

I look forward to working with you.
