OUR AIMS

At our school, learning Spanish opens the door to new cultures, experiences, and opportunities. We aim to:

  • Develop an interest and curiosity in learning to speak another language.
  • Build confidence in the four key skills: listening, speaking, reading, and writing.
  • Increase awareness of the importance and relevance of learning a language in the modern world.
  • Highlight that language learning develops transferable skills for all areas of life.
  • Promote appreciation for Spanish-speaking cultures and global citizenship.
  • Raise awareness of the career and academic benefits of studying languages.

Learning Spanish doesn’t just give you the ability to communicate, it helps you become a confident, adaptable, and culturally aware individual. Many top universities and employers value language skills highly, and students with a GCSE or A-level in a language are often given preference.To read the tables please rotate to landscape or view on a larger screen.
