Spanish

At Holy Cross Primary School, we value modern foreign languages. Spanish is taught from Early Years through to Year 6. A high-quality MFL experience develops competence in the language taught whilst also developing general foreign language learning skills. It is believed that young children are intrinsically better language learners, and will therefore become more proficient more quickly. In addition, in an increasingly globalized world, intercultural competence is essential. We believe that it is important to awaken children’s interests in other people and awareness of cultures at a time when they are open and receptive.
