As a highly regarded facilitating subject, Spanish is undoubtedly a challenging but thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding A Level subject. The course is a natural evolution from your GCSE as you will continue to work on the same four key skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) as well as translation into and out of Spanish. You will study many interesting aspects of Spanish-speaking society and the Hispanic world, including technological and social change, diversity and the benefits and challenges it brings, highlights of artistic culture, and political life. There are also opportunities to explore theatre and film in the Spanish-speaking world. The full A Level course allows also for independent research in an area of your choice.
- There are no additional entry requirements to those mentioned in the Sixth Form Prospectus. However, students should have GCSE Spanish at Grade 5 or above. - All students will also need to have attained at least a grade 4 in both English (Language or Literature) and Maths.

Presentation and discussion of your Individual Research Project. Discussion of a card on one of the themes from aspects of a Spanish-speaking society.
