Would you like to introduce Cornish in your school or find out what resources are available?
There are already schools which teach some Cornish and there are resources here to support teachers who want to teach it. We intend to develop support for schools, teachers and parents so that there are more chances for children to learn Cornish.
Pre school
You could send your child to a Cornish language pre-school, or we arrange training for early years teachers so that they can introduce Cornish to young children.
Primary school
The Cornish language is particularly useful to engage young children in all curriculum areas as well as enabling development of sense of place. Cornish also provides a good introduction to learning other languages.
Secondary school
The Cornish language can de-familiarise any subject and help students approach it with fresh eyes. While directly applicable to language and local place learning aims, it can add learning outcomes to music, drama, geography, history, and others.
Are you a Cornish teacher or thinking about starting a class?
