Spanish

In Spanish, students study a range of topics which develop the skills of listening, speaking, reading, writing and translation.

Each unit of work builds on previous learning and prepares students for study at GCSE.   Students are helped to develop a range of techniques for learning so that they can build up their own vocabulary as efficiently and as independently as possible.
