Spanish is the third most widely spoken language in the world after Mandarin Chinese and English, and is used by 500 million people. Twenty three different nations speak Spanish either as the official language or as a primary language, thus increasing the opportunity of any successful Spanish student to work or study abroad. Spanish is one of the official languages of the European Community, the United Nations and international conferences. It is definitely an expanding language, with its popularity growing every year. The Spanish department offers immersive experiences throughout the course such as trips to Spain with host families, tapas meals, trips to London to see our chosen plays and/or to the British Film Institute to fully understand Spanish filmography linked to the curriculum. Speaking skills are reinforced by individual sessions with a language assistant who is a native speaker.
Most students who wish to take Spanish will be expected to have a grade 7/8 at GCSE, although students with a grade 6 are not necessarily excluded and can go on to gain very good grades.
