We teach Spanish as part of the National Curriculum for Languages. Our curriculum is based around the Language Angels scheme of work (Years 3 to 6). 

At Whitemoor, we have a relevant, broad and ambitious Spanish curriculum in place, which inspires and excites our pupils using a wide variety of topics and themes. Our aim is for pupils to feel able and motivated to continue learning languages beyond Key Stage 2. We also hope that learning a second language will encourage exploration of cultural differences.

The four key language skills: listening, reading, writing and grammar will be taught throughout Key Stage 2.

The key aims are:

• Children have weekly Spanish lessons.
• Lessons include a mix of listening, reading, writing and grammar skills.
• Spanish vocabulary is embedded during other times, such as writing the date in Spanish and displaying Spanish vocabulary in the classroom.
• To celebrate achievements and raise the profile of Spanish, each class will have a ‘language learner of the term’ who will be recognised in celebration assemblies.
• When appropriate, Spanish national celebrations will feature in school, to enhance the learning about Spanish culture.
• We have a 'language of the term' where all children in school are exposed to another foreign language, e.g. Greek.
