About TTLN

The Trent and Tame Language Network serves schools in Birmingham, Stoke and Staffordshire. Our name derives from the two rivers that cross our geographical area. In the same way that the Trent and Tame rivers merge together, so do the vision and values of Language Teaching and Learning at the two co-lead schools, Arthur Terry School and Painsley Catholic College.

We are committed to improving the perception and performance of language learning across our region. Through support, training and system leadership, we will promote quality learning of languages, including home, heritage and community languages.  Whilst our aims align with those of NCLE, we will also support schools in our area to explore and develop their language provision in two core areas.

Our Region

Whilst our work will focus on schools in Birmingham, Stoke and Staffordshire, schools outside this area will be able to work alongside their local language network.
