Exciting News: A New Spanish Curriculum Is Coming! 🇪🇸
Following extensive research and consultation across the school, our pupils have spoken — and the majority have voted in favour of introducing a brand-new Spanish curriculum. We’re thrilled to share that the development of this curriculum is now underway, and we’ll be updating our website with full details soon.
This half term, Key Stage 2 pupils are beginning their Spanish journey by exploring foundational elements of the language. They’ll be learning:
-
Common greetings and expressions
-
Numbers and colours
-
Vocabulary relevant to their local environment
We’re committed to making language learning engaging, inclusive, and meaningful for all our learners. ¡Vamos!
Purpose of study
Learning a foreign language is a liberation from insularity and provides an opening to other cultures. A high-quality languages education should foster pupils’ curiosity and deepen their understanding of the world. The teaching should enable pupils to express their ideas and thoughts in another language and to understand and respond to its speakers, both in speech and in writing. It should also provide opportunities for them to communicate for practical purposes, learn new ways of thinking and read great literature in the original language. Language teaching should provide the foundation for learning further languages, equipping pupils to study and work in other countries.
Aims
The national curriculum for languages aims to ensure that all pupils:
- understand and respond to spoken and written language from a variety of authentic sources
- speak with increasing confidence, fluency and spontaneity, finding ways of communicating what they want to say, including through discussion and asking questions, and continually improving the accuracy of their pronunciation and intonation
- can write at varying length, for different purposes and audiences, using the variety of grammatical structures that they have learnt
- discover and develop an appreciation of a range of writing in the language studied.
