Spanish
Aims
We aim to promote an awareness of Spanish language and culture within the school. At the end of Form 2 pupils have the opportunity to choose to begin to study Spanish the following year in Form 3. We give a talk at the subject choice meeting for Form 2 to highlight the importance of Spanish as a world language. Those who opt to take Spanish in Form 3 can continue to GCSE and beyond, or may drop it at the end of the year.
