Spanish builds upon the skills which you have developed during your GCSE course and will help you to develop confident, effective communication skills and a thorough understanding of the culture of countries and communities where Spanish is spoken. We prepare our students for the syllabus in Spanish with lessons designed to enhance our students’ reading, writing, listening and speaking skills that were first forged at GCSE level. As well as timetabled lessons, we are very fortunate to be able to provide our students with a lesson each week with a native Spanish speaking language assistant. You will have the opportunity to discover and enjoy Spanish film and authentic and accessible Spanish texts. You will also learn to use Spanish in everyday conversation as well as formal discussion and debate. Grammar also plays an important role as you learn to work with increasing accuracy and to decode and translate passages. Students need to learn vocabulary and produce written work on a regular basis. Additionally, they must be prepared to work independently, which includes undertaking extra listening practice at home. As well as immersing our students in Spanish culture, literature, and current affairs at school, Spanish students are offered a highly popular work experience trip to Madrid, where they are expected to complete a work placement, organise their own itinerary and plan all activities. This offers students the chance to experience working, travelling and living in Spain and coincides with preparation for oral exams. As such, it has proven very successful in improving students’ confidence and language ability.
