 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?
Since January 2022 Spanish has been taught through formal lessons in Key Stage 2, either weekly, fortnightly or in blocks each half term. We are currently using the 'language Angels' Scheme of work to support teaching and assessment.
 
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 second 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. The detailed granular subject map for Spanish is available on request.
