Subject aims:
At Park Street we aim to foster the children's curiosity of the world where we live.
We aim to give children the opportunity to learn Spanish as another language: to be able to speak, read and write in this language in order to meet the standards required of them by the national curriculum and to develop a love of languages.
How is the subject taught?
From January 2022 Spanish will be taught through formal lessons in Key Stage 2, either weekly, fortnightly or in blocks each half term. We are currently following the 'language Angels' Scheme of work having planned the units into our long term topic plan to ensure curriculum links and progression.
Some Spanish Language is shared orally or through singing in Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1 such as Spanish Greetings, Numbers and colours so all children throughout school are being exposed to Spanish as a sencond language.
How is the subject assessed?
At the end of each unit the scheme we have chosen to follow in school has a short assessment that teachers (and children in the form of self assessment) complete in order to monitor the children's progress. At the end of the school year the class teacher can use these assessments in order to decide whether a child has met standards set by the national curriculum.
Coverage across year groups
The children have the opportunity to learn Spanish to fit with many different situations: Greetings, talking about themselves, talking about their friends and family, the weather, food, finding their way around, time, Spain as a country and using the euro.
*Please see the MFL subject overview to see what each year group will be taught.

We have this year taken the decision to teach the children Spanish instead of French. The majority of the secondary schools in our area teach Spanish so we feel this switch will better support our pupils with the next phase of their education.
