Spanish

The number of Spanish lessons now increases to three per week and is taught  in conjunction with either French or Latin.  This specialisation allows for increased opportunities to explore more complex structures and provides time to be creative and write scripts that are then performed on stage. This is an important part of what we offer in our language teaching and is a great boost to confidence, reminding learners of the use of Spanish as a real communications tool.

Our unique eAssessment system that maximises our use of Chromebooks continues, with testing points four times a year in the four language skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing.  Regular tests are not only effective in creating and recognising progress, they also take the pressure off pupils by spreading the load throughout the year. Pupils at this level have to prepare just six PRQs (personal response questions) per testing period that they adapt from the imaginative and comprehensive material we provide for them.
