Covering PPA in schools since 2018, we pride ourselves on delivering the highest quality MFL and environmental learning cover for all of our partner schools. Two specific programmes are offered – children can follow either a curriculum that offers a combination of a foreign language with an environmental education, or solely a curriculum which teaches about the environment.

MFL & environment
At Gramacri our slogan is ‘Learn a new language while helping our planet!‘ In other words, we integrate environmental education into languages teaching to reinforce the importance of environment preservation among young children.
Our PPA Cover and Clubs from Early Years to Key Stage 2 are available in French, Spanish, Italian, German and Mandarin Chinese.
All our MFL programmes have been developed in line with the requirements of the National Curriculum 2014, as well as the government proposals to build an education system resilient to Climate Change. We ensure young children meet the milestones, and become aware of the environmental challenges ahead of us. They will learn both: a foreign language and how to play their part in halting nature’s decline. Our interactive and engaging lessons combine in fact the most popular language topics with environmental education.
Environmental learning & eco-clubs
We can also provide environmental education cover without language learning. As stated on the Sustainability and Climate Change Policy 2022 ‘The UK requires the education sector to play its role in positively responding to climate change and inspiring action within young people’. ‘Learners need to know the truth about climate change – through knowledge-rich education. They must also be given the hope that they can be agents of change, through hands-on activity and, as they progress, through guidance and programmes allowing them to pursue a green career pathway in their chosen field.’
Gramacri deliver outstanding environmental learning cover and clubs for primary schools. Our programme aims to rally and unite young people to make realistic but dynamic change, creating positive impacts for our planet now.
All of our sessions are challenging and inspiring, leading the children we teach into a lifelong appreciation of the importance of environment preservation. Our programme not only provides peace of mind that the children are in the safest hands but also comes complete with planning and assessment. Just one less thing for your staff to worry about.
Clubs
Caring about the planet is a great way to bring kids together to do good and learn about protecting the environment. By starting an eco-club at your school you will actually make both: a positive impact to our planet, as well as a huge difference to your pupils’ education. Gramacri helps schools and classrooms with environmental clubs during and after school. Our mission is to empower youth to lead a cultural transformation that optimizes health and sustains the environment. In our eco-club children will:
- learn what to recycle and how;
- use recycled materials;
- paint, draw, colour, cut and glue;
- watch documentaries and tutorials;
- start and maintain student action campaigns;
- learn about habitat restoration;
- engage with green labs;
- engage with garden activities;
- connect with nature;
- clean up trash from local parks or schools yard;
- monitor recycling bins;
- learn the art of glass painting.

The most recent Language Trends report has found that not…
Why to learn Italian, anyway?
DECEMBER 9, 2014 BY DANIEL Why study a foreign language? It’s hard work, time-consuming and potentially expensive. And if you’re going to bother at all, why choose Italian, rather than say Spanish, French, German, or something more ambitious like Chinese? There are many excellent reasons to learn a foreign language, none the least that it’s an infinitely…
5 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD LEARN RUSSIAN
When I started learning Russian, my friends would sit there and laugh at me. I always have questions such as, “Why did you learn Russian? It’s not useful” from many people, thrown at my face. Don’t worry about others though, because learning Russian is just as useful as learning French or Spanish, theoretically. If you…
