National award win for Churchstoke business Language Magnet
A Churchstoke-based foreign language business has won a national education award.
Language Magnet was recognised at the Birmingham-hosted Education Resources Awards 2025 on Thursday, May 15.
The business, launched by Diana Somers in January 2022, helps teachers across the UK to deliver foreign language lessons to primary school children.
Ms Somers said: "I'm delighted that Language Magnet has been awarded winner of the Classroom Teaching Aids category and received Highly Commended for the Primary ICT Resource category.
"The competition was exceptionally tough, so I'm honoured that our platform has been recognised by educational experts for its innovation and effectiveness in primary languages."
The judges said: "The subscription to Language Magnet creates opportunities for schools with limited budgets to use a fantastic resource to engage, enable, and extend learning for children, and the impact on some of the most vulnerable students is extremely pleasing to see."
